Solid Button Shirt

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An FR (flame-resistant) button-down shirt is a work shirt made to self-extinguish and resist burning when exposed to flash fire or electric arc. It is commonly worn by electricians, welders, linemen, oil and gas crews, and utility and industrial workers. Forge FR's Solid Button Shirts give this protection in a classic long-sleeve work-shirt look.

Yes. The Forge FR Men's Navy Button Long Sleeve Shirt is UL certified to NFPA 2112 (2023 edition), tested to ASTM F1506, and listed as NFPA 70E PPE. Standards and ratings can differ by fabric, so check the spec block on each product page before ordering.

The Navy Button Long Sleeve Shirt has an ATPV of 8.2 cal/cm², which meets HRC/CAT 2. Under NFPA 70E, CAT 2 tasks call for arc-rated clothing with a minimum rating of 8 cal/cm². For higher-hazard tasks, confirm your site's hazard assessment and layer accordingly.

The collection has three fabric families at different price points. The 7 oz cotton/nylon twill is the value option from $72.25. Tecasafe styles start at $115, and Westex DH Air styles at $143.75. Compare weight, arc rating and price on each product page to match your climate and hazard level.

The 7 oz cotton-nylon twill is a standard-weight fabric, and one verified reviewer described it as much cooler than their previous FR shirt. If you work in heat all day, look at the lighter-weight Westex DH Air styles in the same collection.

Carhartt and Bulwark are larger, established brands with similar standards, and Carhartt's FR twill is rated 8.6 cal/cm² at CAT 2. Forge FR offers comparable CAT 2 protection with NFPA 2112 certification at a lower price, from $72.25, plus free shipping and a 15-day satisfaction guarantee. Choose based on fit, fabric weight and budget.

Forge FR button-down shirts come in S to 5XL, plus tall sizes LT, XLT, 2XLT and 3XLT. One customer review says the shirt fits true to size, even for someone who prefers a loose fit. Use the size chart on each product page, and size up only if you plan to layer.
