FR Work Shirt Printed Paisley/Hawaii Button Down - NFPA2112

Our review of this BOCOMAL FR work shirt finds it best for industrial tradespeople who need certified protection without sacrificing style. The single biggest reason to buy is the clear NFPA2112 CAT II and UL certification combined with durable FR construction, which delivers reliable flash fire protection while still looking like a casual western or Hawaii shirt. It is offered in paisley with FR pearl snaps or Hawaii with FR buttons and comes pre-washed and pre-shrunk for a comfortable, ready-to-wear fit.

Key Features

• Flame resistant fabric: The 6.5 oz printed twill is treated to meet NFPA2112 and provides arc-rated protection suitable for HRC2 work environments.
• Certified safety: Comes with a clearly visible FR tag and UL certified label on the pocket so workers can verify compliance on site.
• Built for durability: FR buttons or FR pearl snaps from YKK and aramid thread reinforce stress points for long wear in heavy duty tasks.
• Comfortable fit: Pre-wash and pre-shrink treatment delivers a consistent fit out of the box and a wrinkle-resistant appearance for everyday wear.
• Long-lasting protection: The FR treatment is rated to remain effective through up to 100 washes, extending the useful life of the garment.
• Functional styling: Classic western cut and color options let users wear it on the job or off the clock without looking like a safety suit.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, ironworkers, electricians, fitters and other industrial workers who need NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 compliant apparel and prefer a more styled look than a plain work shirt. The mix of protective features and western/Hawaii styling suits tradespeople who often move between workshop and customer-facing environments.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers needing higher arc ratings than ATPV 8.2 or those who require non-cotton baseline fabrics for specific chemical resistance. Also, buyers who prefer a very loose or very modern athletic cut should check sizing carefully since some customers noted the fit can run small.

Pros & Cons

• Certified NFPA2112 CAT II protection gives peace of mind on regulated sites.

• Pre-washed, pre-shrunk cotton twill provides comfortable, low-maintenance wear.
• Stylish paisley or Hawaii prints make it usable off the job as well.
