Our story
How we got our start?
In 1953 in a small loft in the Lower East Side of NYC, Milton Somberg began Rothco, dealing with used clothing & WWII surplus. Over 67 years Rothco has evolved to develop and manufacture high quality military gear. Rothco is a family run business based in New York run by Milton’s son Howard Somberg.
What makes our product unique?
Rothco carries over 4,000 items, all of which are rooted in our military heritage. From our M-65 Field Jackets to our Canvas Bags, even the folding camping shovel can all be traced back to Rothco's military surplus roots.
Why we love what we do?
Here at Rothco, we are proud to supply military personnel, public safety, first responders, and everyday consumers with high-quality military, tactical, survival, and outdoor products.
