Red Kap Men's Performance Crew Jacket

This is perfect for work as a technician. I was looking for something that looked professional and comfortable, and was looking into Dickies and other similar brands; but this was more cost efficient and the fit was better, IMO.The fit is true to size; I normally wear an XL for jackets if I want to layer something underneath. For this jacket I wear a t-shirt and poloshirt, and wearing this is comfortable. It's not terribly heavy, and it does offer good-sized pockets on the inside. I'm very picky when it comes to zippers, and this comes with a YKK zipper, and it's smooth to take on and off.

Jacket is very well built and looks to be extra durable. I like that the cuffs are tight on the wrist but tucked up inside the sleeves. As far as fit goes I wear a medium shirt but ordered a large because I often have a problem with the sleeves not being long enough. I feel like I probably could have gotten away with a medium which would have been snugger on my torso which would be warmer. I found that a fleece vest under the jacket makes it perfect. Overall I am very happy with the jacket and would recommend it to anyone looking for a rugged work jacket.

The jacket fits him perfectly,and it's made of heavy-duty material.I would purchase another.

The fit is better and the added extras like around the wrist area hidden inside there's an additional cuff that fits snug to keep out any unwanted cold. Also the arms are nice and lengthy and the waist is fitted nicely not all blown out like the Dickies jackets I've purchased in the past.

Nice Jacket. Comfortable. Nice and plain without any silly design. People here are complaining about loose threads. If you never worked for a company that provides uniforms, know that you have to trim the loose threads from manufacturing like pretty much anything from a uniform company. The sleeves are a little long but I just cuffed them like in my picture and they are fine now. It's a little short though, it comes down right below the belt line. If you are tall, have a long torso, or don't tuck in your shirts, you might want to get the Red Kap Panel Jacket instead, which is a little longer. I'm 5'7" and 240 pounds, I got the 2XL and it's a decent fit for me. If you have a gut like me there is not a lot of room for it. I'm about 48" around the chest and 50" around at the belly button and it is not tight on my stomach but just about right. If you are fatter than 52" around the stomach this jacket will be too small when you sit down with it zipped up. If your stomach is more than a couple inches bigger around than your chest, I would say this is not a good jacket design for you. The chest area of the jacket is bigger than the stomach area. My shoulders are 20 inches wide measured from the outside of the arms and it's a good fit. If your shoulders are wider than 21 inches measured from the outside of the arms then this jacket will be too small for you. I can barely get hands in the inside pockets. The palm of my hand is 4" wide. If the palms of your hands are wider than 4", the inside pockets will be too small to get your hands in. I wish it had pockets on the chest. The outside pockets are nicely insulated to keep your hands warm. The fabric is a ripstop weave which you cannot see in the pictures. I think it looks cool and will post a picture of it. I also posted a picture of what the inside looks like.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but this Red Kap jacket is more than I hoped for. Since Carhartt discontinued their twill + lined jacket several years ago I have been without an option. These are better, actually, and are made in Mexico - not overseas - if North American MFG matters to you. The specs/features are not fully described online as far as I can tell. This fabric blend is more Poly, less Cotton (20%) than a Carhartt, but it's fine. The 2 big inside pockets have snaps. One of the slash pockets also has a snap. Internal wrist cuffs are new to me but working out. The only thing I might add is an external cuff snap. You can't really go wrong for about $50. When these are fresh you can get away with wearing them anywhere. Will order more. Good job, Red Kap.

Nice jacket but left outside pocket missing snap button.

I purchased a similar Eisenhower jacket last year from Dickie. It was very stiff and the zipper broke within a couple of months… This jacket is not stiff has more pockets and is very comfortable to wear… I highly recommend it.
