Purchased this jacket as it was a good price as compared to dickies and carhartt jackets. I work in the post office and this jacket is perfect for working in plants/distribution centers. The fit is just right, not too tight and not too big. I am 5'7, weighing around 130 for reference.I've purchased and tried working with the Carhartt Detroit jacket and the Dickies (not layered version) jacket. The Carhartt jacket was just too padded and too stiff to be working indoors, I absolutely loved the jacket but it didn't work for me. I know a lot of people say “you have to break it in” but I prefer jackets comfortable straight out of the package, I don't want to break in a jacket and suffer for months to break it in. The sleeves were also a bit longer. The dickie's jacket felt too big on the arms.The Red Kap jacket was perfect, since although it was padded, I didn't feel as if I would have a heat stroke working in it and the sleeves felt perfect. It was a good combination of the Carhartt and Dickies jacket.Although the jacket is good, the only issue I had was the quality. I ordered the brown and grey version, and the brown version had so much loose threads. I fixed that issue but cutting them. The grey version I ordered had really small pockets as compared to the brown version. Although the jacket has some manufacturing issues, overall it's the perfect combination of the carhartt and dickies jacket.Another thing I would like to add is I wish this jacket had inside pockets!
