FR Jeans

Regular denim can ignite and keep burning, which can worsen burn injuries. FR jeans use flame-resistant fabric that stops burning when the ignition source is gone. They also carry a safety label with a tested arc rating, which regular jeans do not have.

FR jeans should sit comfortably at the waist with enough room in the seat and thighs to move without binding, while staying close enough not to snag on equipment. A slightly relaxed fit is common for work use. Check each product's size chart and reviews, and order your usual work-jean size.

Yes, FR jeans are made to be worn with work boots. Choose boot cut if your boots are chunky or you want the hem to fall smoothly over them. Choose straight leg for a cleaner look with lace-up boots. In both cases, make sure the hem does not ride up and expose your boot top or ankle.

Choose Forge's stretch denim styles for jobs with lots of movement. The added give in the seat and thighs makes climbing, crouching, and kneeling easier. Stretch FR jeans still need the correct NFPA 2112 label and ATPV rating for your hazard level, so comfort should never replace certification.

Follow the care label. In general, wash FR jeans separately from non-FR clothes, and avoid chlorine bleach, fabric softener, and starch, which can reduce flame resistance or leave flammable residue. Do not wear them if they are soaked with oil, grease, or fuel, and replace them if they have holes, burns, or worn-through areas.

Forge men's FR jeans range from about $82 to $108, in styles including stretch denim, blue faded cross hatch, dark denim, dark blue, and embroidered designs. Pick stretch for movement-heavy work and classic denim for maximum durability. For crews and bulk orders, contact Forge's wholesale team.
