FR Work Shirt Printed Paisley/Hawaii Button Down - FR Protection

In this review the BOCOMAL FR Shirts Printed Paisley/Hawaii lightweight work shirt is evaluated for industrial workers who need certified flash fire protection without sacrificing style. The bottom line: this shirt is for welders, electricians and other trades who want an attractive, comfortable FR layer that meets NFPA2112 CAT II and HRC2 protection while still looking like a casual western shirt. The single biggest reason to buy is the certified flame resistant construction combined with a pre-shrunk, comfortable fit that stands up to frequent washing.

Key Features

• Flame resistant materials: Made from 6.5 oz printed Paisley or Hawaii 100% cotton twill treated for flame resistance to meet NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 standards.
• Certified protection: UL certified label on the pocket and designed to meet HRC2 with an Arc Rating Atpv 8.2 cal/cm2 for dependable flash fire safety.
• FR hardware and stitching: FR pearl snaps or FR buttons from YKK and aramid threads increase durability and maintain flame performance at stress points.
• Comfort and fit: Pre-wash and pre-shrink treatment delivers a comfortable, wrinkle-resistant fit out of the box and sizes include big and tall options.
• Durability over time: Rated to retain flame resistance through up to 100 washes so it can be laundered repeatedly while keeping protective properties.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at industrial tradespeople - welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and construction crews - who need certified FR protection but prefer a more casual, western-inspired look on the job or in the field. The variety of prints and western styling makes it suitable for supervisors or technicians who want a professional yet approachable appearance.

Those who should look elsewhere include crews that require heavier multilayer PPE for extreme arc exposures beyond HRC2 or workers who need non-cotton blends for specific chemical resistance; this is a treated cotton twill intended primarily for flash fire and arc-rated garment needs within the stated certifications.
