Red Kap workwear known for exceptional apparel since 1923, has expanded into purpose-built apparel for the construction industry.

Red Kap, a leading workwear apparel brand, announces its entry into the construction industry with purpose-built products designed specifically for the construction worker.  Red Kap spent 2 years on construction sites to have a deep understanding of how construction guys work and designed garments that they need to focus on the job at hand, not on their workwear. Red Kap’s unique ability to flow function into style and professionalism is part of what makes Red Kap the leader in workwear apparel.

“For construction workers, apparel choice is really one of the many tools he considers to perform his daily tasks. Selecting apparel that is engineered for mobility and comfort is a priority.  Red Kap has developed the next generation of function for this industry.”

Cindy Chatman-Marshall, Director of Marketing, VF Imagewear, Red Kap
