FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An FR (flame-resistant) henley is a collarless, buttoned-placket shirt made from fabric that resists ignition and self-extinguishes when the heat source is removed. It suits welders, electricians, oil and gas crews, and utility workers. The button placket also lets you adjust airflow in hot conditions.

Yes. Forge FR henley neck t-shirts are UL-certified to NFPA 2112-2018, the U.S. standard for protection against industrial flash fire. Certification covers the finished garment, not just the fabric. Check each product page for the exact style's certification details before ordering for your crew.

No. NFPA 2112 covers flash fire, while arc flash protection is measured separately in cal/cm² under ASTM F1506 and selected under NFPA 70E.

Forge FR offers standard long-sleeve henleys (from $62.25), lightweight henleys (from $74.75) for warmer conditions, a stretch henley (from $76.25) for mobility, and contrast-stitch styles (from $62.25).

Wash inside-out in warm water with regular detergent, and skip bleach and fabric softener, since they can reduce FR performance on some fabrics. Always follow the garment's care label. Retire any shirt with burns, thin spots or holes, because damaged FR clothing may not protect as designed.
