Hossmaz Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 For those whom have used Red Kap Men's Twill Action Back Coverall for the starter, is it better to purchase the coverall larger than needed then hem down to the right size for a good fit? Or just buy your size. I have seen people talking about Velcro cuffs, is that a requirement? Don't see it on the CRL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It definitely helps to buy the Long version of your size if you can. The RedKap is known to be a bit short in the torso, which causes some uncomfortable tightness in the crotch area and a pull on your shoulders. I did buy my regular size, just in Long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayelbe Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 +1 for the long size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wayner Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I will agree. I bought mine fitting my normal 44. But it is tight in torso. It will do but I look funny squirming around trying to get over my shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtopp15 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 cwmarcom, if you don't mind me asking what your size is. I to am looking to purchase the 44 and I am not quite sure it will be right size for me. I am 6'2" 225lbs average build. I guess I just want to get it right the first time I buy one and not have to send it back. never worn a jumpsuit before, I know it will be baggy in area but want to get it close so when I have it tailored down it wont be as much of a pain.

The Wayner Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm 5'11 @180lbs. Pretty much a tall slim build. A normal 44 dress coat fits me, but if you go with Redkap, go with 44 tall or one size bigger. I'm making my suit work, but again I have to wiggle it over my shoulders. Overall it works because I don't have any bagginess up top. I'm just wrapping up my suit work with all the suede patches/mud flap and sewing collar/ pockets. If you order from Amazon, they will take back if you don't like the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossmaz Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I’m 6’2†350 and I got the 58 long. It’s seems that I need to hem the legs now but it’s baggy in the legs. I guess that when I sew on the suede and elastic for the legs, I can hem in the legs for a better fit.
