BOCOMAL FR Shirts for Men Printed Plaid Flame Resistant Button Up

Our review of the BOCOMAL FR printed plaid work shirt finds it best for industrial workers who need lightweight, certified protection without the bulk of heavier FR shirts. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of genuine NFPA2112/CAT2 compliance and a lighter 6.5oz cotton construction, which delivers flame resistance and everyday comfort in one package. The shirt arrives prewashed and preshrunk, with FR buttons, FR sewing thread, and an eyecatch FR tag on the pocket, and a small in-package sample to test the FR properties firsthand.

Key Features

• 6.5oz cotton fabric: A lighter-weight FR material that reduces overheating while retaining protection compared with heavier work shirts.
• Certified protection: Meets NFPA2112, NFPA70E and ASTM F1506 requirements and is rated HRC2/CAT2 with an Arc Rating Atpv of 8.2 cal/cm2 for workplace safety.
• FR hardware and construction: Uses FR buttons and FR sewing threads for consistent flame-resistant performance through seams and closures.
• Prewashed and preshrunk: Keeps the shirt from significant shrinkage or distortion after washing, helping maintain fit and appearance.
• Durability through washes: Maintains FR properties for up to 100 washes, making it suitable for repeated daily use.
• Practical pocket tagging and sample: Eyecatch FR pocket tag and a small fabric sample inside the package let users verify labeling and FR feel immediately.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, electricians, ironworkers, fitters and other industrial trade professionals who need certified flame resistance but prefer a lighter, breathable cotton shirt for hot or active environments. It is also useful for supervisors and technicians who require compliant garments that still present a neat, professional appearance on site.

Those who need heavyweight thermal insulation or specialized outerwear for extreme cold may want a different FR layer, and workers who require very high arc ratings above Atpv 8.2 should evaluate other garments designed for higher incident energy levels.
