stasz Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I decided to get some soft parts together via some Christmas Amazon gift cards. I ordered a pair of gloves from WampaWear (it looks like they may be discontinuing them?) I also ordered a RedKap Acton Back coverall. In the Amazon reviews, comments on the sizing were all over the place. Just right, fits as stated, way too small... what are anyone's experience with the fit of the RedKap in general and under your armour in particular? Also, any thoughts on the KS 'bund? Thanks y'all. Happy new year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout.trooper Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm 5'10" tall and ordered a regular sized RK for my measurements. When I tried it on, I literally had to stand hunched over after I zipped the thing up. Sent it back and ordered a "long" instead of a "regular". Never thought 5'10" qualified me for a "long". So yeah, I'd say it's a bit small, but I guess it depends on your frame size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The RedKap coveralls fit to size. Got to Walmart, Sears, JC Penny or any other place that sells mens dress suits. Try on a dress coat & what ever size fits you is the size of coverall you want to order. I used to make the riding suits here & asked everyone to tell me what size dress coat they wore & always got the perfect fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm a pretty slim build and 6 feet tall. I measured my chest size and ordered exactly that, a sz38. Got it yesterday and it was a little short between the crotch and the shoulders - it was quite tight on the junk. It was also short in the legs but that'd be covered up by the boots anyway. But then I found out they have Regular or Tall. Sizing. So now I'm returning it and getting a 38 tall instead.

stasz Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I ended up going with my jacket size and the "long" option, and it fits like a champ. Came super fast too! Now I have to deal with the riding patch attachment. Fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt8199 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 IU ordered RK as well and it was too small. I had to send it back. I then recieved my next one and it was a bit snug also. I'm thinking of returning it again for a LONG apparently, but I don't know if I want to spend the $ for shpping again. It's gonna cost me the same as the produst or more to ship it 2 times...

stasz Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 That's a drag, man. It's tough not being able to try before you buy. I actually rescind my "fits like a champ" comment, as the butt area ended up being quite... billow-y. I took it in a couple inches and it's perfect now. I'm still glad I got the size I did though because from the waist up it's great. I don't think it's going to be a perfect fit for anyone but it didn't take much to get it there.

Chunk Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You have to remember RedKap Coveralls are work coveralls & made to be worn over your pants. That is why they have the slip through hip pocketd. That is meant for you to get to you regular pant pockets. The numeric size is your chest size. The legs are wide to compesate for your reg pants. The legs will need to be taken in about an inch & half. If you read above i gave a way to get the perfect size. GO TRY ON A DRESS COAT! This is the size you need to buy. If your over 6' get the long. As the legs, arms & torso are about 2" longer. You have to check the box regular or long when you order, so don't know how you can mess that up. 3 boxes you have to check when ordering. 1 COLOR 2 CHEST SIZE 3 REG or LONG. I cant be any more clear to get the perfect size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldal Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Are the hips/thighs any wider between Regular and Long? Just got my Regular in the mail, and it's a little small all over. I can get Long and make the chest bigger, but also don't know if that means more width at the waist and thighs. Anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I wear a 42 long since I'm 6'2". Basically the only difference between the two is the length of the inseam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivian Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Ditto. 6.3 and 40. Guessing the world's size variation went to 42. Just right. Can take in but not grow em more Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayelbe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm 5'9" and wear a 42R coverall as part of my job. That said, I had to re order a 42L RedKap because I couldn't zip mine up while standing straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
