BOCOMAL FR Printed Paisley/Hawaii Pearl Snap Work Shirt - FR Men's

In this review the BOCOMAL FR Shirts Printed Paisley/Hawaii lightweight work shirt is judged as a practical choice for industrial workers who need certified flame resistant apparel that still looks like a casual western shirt. The single biggest reason to buy is safety without compromise: this shirt carries UL certification and NFPA2112 CAT II compliance while using a 6.5oz printed cotton twill that wears and washes like regular work cotton. The reviewer found the construction and fit aimed at day-to-day use on jobs where arc and flash fire protection are required.

Key Features

• FR Materials: Made from 6.5oz printed Paisley or Hawaii 100% cotton twill treated for flame resistance, offering a balance of comfort and protection.
• Certified Protection: Meets NFPA2112 CAT II and HRC2 requirements with an Arc Rating ATPV 8.2 calories/cm2, providing recognized protection for flash fire risks.
• Durable Components: FR buttons, FR pearl snaps from YKK and aramid threads enhance garment durability at stress points and maintain FR integrity.
• Pre-washed Comfort: Pre-wash and pre-shrink treatment gives a comfortable, wrinkle-resistant fit out of the box, including big and tall options.
• Wash Longevity: FR treatment remains effective through repeated laundering, rated for continued protection up to about 100 washes.

Who It's For

The shirt is aimed at welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and other industrial workers who must meet NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 standards on site but prefer a western-style look. It is a good pick when you want a garment that blends safety with a patterned, casual appearance for work or everyday wear.

Workers who need very high arc ratings above ATPV 8.2 or specialized multilayer protection should look at heavier or multi-fabric systems; likewise those who prefer synthetic performance fabrics for moisture wicking may want a different FR option.
