Who It's For

This shirt is best for welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and other industrial workers who need certified flame resistant apparel that does not feel heavy or restrictive. The lightweight 6.5oz twill and prewash finish make it comfortable for long shifts and layered wear on colder sites.
