Review on Men's Clothing: Red Kap Poplin Dress in 5X-Large Size by Ronnie Polk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unlike previous Red Cap shirts I've bought from Revain

I've bought several of these shirts over the past year. They fit perfectly and the price is right. I wear them to the office every day. I bought two more this week and just put them on this morning. It's not the same one I bought last year. Differences: 1) The decal looks different. Same words, different colors and types of text. 2) The total length of the sleeve and cuff is about 3/4 inch longer although the size is the same. 3) The circumference of the cuff (button to buttonhole) is much larger. This means the sleeve will fall over my arm when my arms are resting beside me. This and the longer overall length means I have to have it custom made if I want it to look right. I don't know if the latter are real and these are fake or vice versa, or if Red Kap used a different subcontractor or something. Some people may prefer the newer version. This is a simple fit issue, not a quality issue per se. For me, this means I won't be buying any more Red Cap shirts as I don't know what I'm going to get. That's a shame as it was good hidden value for Revain. I'm thinking about returning these two shirts. They "kinda" fit, but I wouldn't wear them to the office without tailoring (and tailoring would cost a lot more than a shirt).

Pros
  • A hemmed, spade shaped, triangle stitched corner
Cons
  • Durable
