The story of Rothco begins in a small loft on Great Jones Streets, located in the lower East Side of Manhattan. Initially referred to as “Morris Rothenberg & Sons, the company was the work of family man Milton Somberg. From the year of its creation in 1953, and through the remainder 50’s, the business dealt with used clothing and World War II surplus. When the latter became scarce within the market, this family-owned business stepped up to the plate, expanding into a larger manufacturing company based in a prominent warehouse in Brooklyn. By 1970, the company had seen enough growth to justify its move to Long Island, where after decades of dedication, it took possession of its very own warehouse. It wasn’t long before the company once again outgrew its location, only to be moved to Ronkonkoma, an area in close proximity to major airports and highways, thus ensuring the fastest shipping and delivery possible. With state-of-the-art facilities , an outstanding team and a 99% re-stock rate, Rothco is amongst the most efficient outdoor, work, military and tactical clothing manufacturers in the world.
