Rothco — footwear and clothing from the USA

The History of the Rothco Brand

The founding of Rothco dates back to 1953, which is now considered the beginning of the worldwide recognition of military style. The company's production “grew stronger” after orders for tactical clothing began to come in for Americans who were fighting in South Korea. Initially, Rothco developed and produced uniforms only for the needs of the army. 

The company’s founders were fortunate that military style is very convenient in many areas of life (for both ordinary civilians and military personnel). Another factor was the desire to make the difference between the military way of life and civilian life less noticeable. The fact that people far removed from military service began wearing pea coats, caps, and combat boots gradually started to bring in additional profit. And as a result, military style became so attractive that it even surpassed such a familiar style as safari.

To this day, the company pays tribute to its early successes, which is why it sells and positions more than half of its products as gear for the US Army. But even without such “advertising,” clothing and equipment from Rothco would be extremely in demand. Now military style has taken a firm position (like denim and safari in the 1920s) in the role of military and ordinary casual clothing, and it has also become recognized as a unisex style.

Advantages of Rothco products

The #1 advantage of the products is the high quality of sewing technology and materials. The thing is that the footwear and clothing are designed for use in military conditions, i.e. prolonged stays in open areas, negative exposure to weather factors, and physical exertion are taken into account. Another plus is that the clothing and footwear are made in a military style, which is in demand among active young people 

Consumers value the fact that almost all of the brand's products are not only made in a military style, but actually meet the requirements imposed on military personnel's clothing, combining this with fashion trends. Digital camouflage for "breaking up" the silhouette is especially popular, which is important for concealment. There is less and less of such clothing on sale, but Rothco is working on it.
