Red Kap Men's Slash Pocket Jacket

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.

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.

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!!

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

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

I really wanted to get a mechanics jacket because I had one in high school, That one had a nice fit and was warm enough for spring/fall. I was a little put off by the size, it fits funny like big shoulders and skinny waist, and has a funny plastic whoosh sound when you move around in it; but the coat is nice and warm for chilly mornings in the house or running errands.

Excellent fit, true to size.

For the price point it delivers more value than may first appear. The shoulders fit my shoulders quite well though the body is loose around the middle. I'd say if you have long arms you should order a size larger than you would wear normally. All in all a satisfactory jacket.
