Red KapMen's Slash Pocket Jacket

Love this jacket normally I will have to return and get different sizes because they don’t fit right but this one is just right the fit the weight material is great and it don’t hold you back in the arms like some jackets and the quality is great

Giving 5 stars because the jacket overall quality and purposeful construction is a great bang for your buck.No 'loose-thread' problems as reported by others. Some complain of its roomy sleeves; however, it's not a design flaw. This insulated jacket is targeted for manual labor as is the costlier Dickies' version.This is the jacket to buy if your arms require a generous and comfortable range of motion--function over form.

Okay this is a very nice quality jacket. And plenty warm. I got the grey and it looks great.Over-all good sizing too. I am 6-0 and a bulky 285 with lots of muscle and the 2XL fits very well. I can wear it over just a t-shirt or fit a hoody under it also when it's really cold.Sizing good EXCEPT THE SLEEVES. And I don't have skinny arms. 18" biceps and 14" forearms but the sleeves are just too big around-- especially from the elbows down. Took it to a tailor to taper the sleeves from the elbow down and shorten them an inch or so. [Turns out that'll cost me $35.] That said, it's worth it b/c it's a great looking jacket with serious warmth. Also, I don't have any of the hanging threads that other reviewers are talking about. Hey Red Kap-- tighten up the sleeves a bit, add a loop inside for hanging on a hook when not in use, and you will have produced the perfect jacket!!

I received my first jacket at my job. 7 years of being my go to jacket, it has been great spring and fall. Winter time on top of a nice hoodie and thermal shirt, you're good to go.Not overly thick but that's what I like most. It is still plenty warm and blocks wind and light rain. It is comfortable enough to become my cats favorite nap spot so I'll take her word on that.For 7 years of use, I still use it, have only had to replace 2 plastic buttons over the years, both on right sleeve which I use more, so that's understandable. Plenty of other buttons on jacket you don't really need so use one of those for the important one if it breaks. I wash it in washing machine and dry in dryer, nothing fancy just throw it in with other clothes.It is actually remarkable how well it has held up, which inspired me to order my own without the work insignia or my name sewn on. And in a color I wanted. I checked the label on my work coat, saw Red Kap, and started my Amazon search to find the right one (slash pocket jacket) I already knew a large fit me perfect (6' 0" 165lbs) and honestly the price was about 1/3 of what I expected, as it has outlasted way pricier jackets (Carhartt). Only improvement would be a zipper pocket on the inside since slash pockets have a habit of spilling my phone but I can work around that. Redd Kap has gained a faithful fan, may not buy too much since they last so long, but will recommend to anyone anytime. Heck, look at the photos, blue is 7 years old and grey is my new one. Almost no difference after A LOT of use.

This is the best lightweight jacket you can buy. The best at being light but keeping your warm. Most automotive shops have this jacket with their logo/badge on it and their uniform color. This jacket could use an inside pocket or two, but that's not a legitimate reason to complain. This jacket is good for work and for casual wear. It resists dust and oil better than any other jacket I have tried. It also looks great when washed and washes easily in the washer. It is a polyester blend, so it does not shrink. Like all clothes, I wash before wearing, and I recommend you do for this because it will soften the cotton portion of the material. It also will remove any chemical smells to make the jacket obviously smell better. I could sleep in this jacket it is that comfortable. I cannot recommend this jacket enough. If it had inside pockets, then this would be the perfect jacket. I would even wear it in the summer for my EDC if it had inside pockets.

The best thing about this jacket: Not bulky but warm and the fit.Worn this two weeks straight now. I am 6' 6" and have always needed an extra large to get the sleeves to be long enough but in reality, I would take a large. So I ordered a Large Tall and it fits perfectly.Warmer than your lighter windbreaker jackets but not heavy like your snow jacket. Light but warm. I was at a gas station getting gas on a windy night and was surprised at how I did not feel the chill on my upper body.There is one thing I don't care for but not a deal breaker for me. The cuffs have buttons but I don't use them as even the one that has the largest opening, I can't slide my hand through (I would have to unbutton every time to take off). So I just leave it unbuttoned.

This jacket looks and feels great. It holds up to work and play. The only issue I had was the zipper stop broke off and the zipper pull went missing. I had not been especially rough with the jacket and I have never had that happen on anything else that I own, so I was pretty surprised. I don't know if it was a fluke or if they somehow have a cheaper version of a zipper on this thing, but it was a real letdown. I still like this jacket better than those offered by some much more expensive competitors, but the zipper thing is an issue. Maybe I just got unlucky, so I would still say this jacket is worth taking a chance on.As for me, I like the jacket enough that I may try to have someone put on a new and heavier zipper.

It feels great, hopefully it lasts 20+ yrs like last one I have, size runs true, highly recommend
