Heritage and History
Founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1923, Red Kap grew to become the dominant supplier of industrial work uniforms to American manufacturing companies. The company's customer base reads like a who's who of American industry — automotive plants, oil refineries, food processing facilities, and service companies that need their workers uniformly and professionally outfitted.
As a VF Corporation brand, Red Kap benefits from the same manufacturing infrastructure that produces Wrangler, Timberland, and other major American apparel brands. Nashville has been the operational center since the company's founding, maintaining the Tennessee manufacturing base that gives Red Kap its American identity.
Made in Nashville, Tennessee
Red Kap manufactures its work shirts, pants, coveralls, and shop coats in Nashville and other American facilities, using the poly-cotton blends that combine the durability workers need with the comfort that keeps them productive through long shifts. The Petro-Gard flame-resistant line meets NFPA 70E and OSHA requirements for electrical hazard environments, a critical specification for utility workers and electricians.
Work clothing sees harder use than any other category of apparel — it must survive industrial washing at high temperatures, contact with oils and chemicals, and physical stress that would destroy consumer clothing in weeks. Red Kap's century of experience with industrial workwear requirements is embedded in every garment, from the reinforced seams to the soil-release finish that makes oil stains launder out.
