Red Kap Shirts
( Items)Red Kap shirts have solved a simple problem since 1923 — work shirts that actually
survive the job. Industrial laundry cycles, grease, heat, and ten-hour shifts are not optional challenges
on real job sites, and most shirts fail them fast. Red Kap work shirts are built around those exact
demands, with Touchtex technology for lasting color retention, OilBlok for grease resistance, and MIMIX
four-way stretch for unrestricted movement. At GotApparel, we have stocked the full Red Kap collection at
genuine wholesale pricing for over 15 years — no minimums and customization services, same-day shipping on orders
placed by 3pm EST, and a team that knows which shirt fits your industry and which one does not.
Why Red Kap Shirts Has Led Industrial Uniforming Since 1923
Red Kap was founded in 1923 by two brothers and a cousin selling bib overalls in Nashville — and grew
into the largest industrial uniform manufacturer in the United States. In the 1980s, Red Kap partnered
with General Motors to develop the SP14GM and SP24GM, service technician shirts still in the lineup today.
Ford and Honda followed. Touchtex technology delivers lasting color retention and soil release through commercial wash cycles. OilBlok,
introduced in 2019, resists grease penetration at the fiber level. MIMIX four-way stretch, also launched
in 2019, brought unrestricted movement to industrial workwear for the first time. These are not features
added for a catalog. They are a hundred years of listening to workers.
Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve, Mechanic and Industrial Stripe Styles
Different industries put different demands on a work shirt — and Red Kap builds specifically for each
one. Automotive shops and dealership service departments rely on the SP24AC and SY42 with OilBlok for
daily grease resistance. Construction and road crews use ANSI Class 2 hi-vis styles
like the SP24E for safety compliance. Food processing facilities need pocketless styles with hidden snaps
built to meet hygiene requirements. Service teams and technicians across maintenance, utility, and
transportation sectors have depended on Red Kap shirts since the brand first began outfitting
American workers a century ago.
