Carhartt Flame Resistant Work Shirt with Hood Navy and Carhartt Brown

Description

Product Overview

Carhartt’s flame resistant work shirt is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments while delivering everyday comfort. Constructed from a blend of high‑performance fibers, the fabric complies with NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 standards, ensuring it can withstand exposure to sparks, heat, and open flames without compromising the wearer’s safety. The shirt’s outer layer is treated with a durable finish that resists abrasion, while the inner layer incorporates moisture‑wicking technology to keep the skin dry during extended periods of activity.

The integrated three‑piece hood provides an additional layer of protection for the head and neck, a feature rarely found in standard work shirts. The hood is equipped with a flame‑resistant drawcord that allows the wearer to adjust coverage quickly, adapting to changing weather conditions or job site requirements. This design eliminates the need for a separate jacket or outer layer, reducing bulk and improving mobility for tasks that demand a full range of motion.</n

Carhartt’s proprietary Force technology is woven into the fabric to accelerate sweat evaporation, while the FastDry treatment speeds up drying time after exposure to water or perspiration. This combination creates a cooling effect that helps regulate body temperature, preventing overheating during high‑intensity labor. The shirt also features Vislon front zippers reinforced with Nomex FR tape, delivering reliable closure that maintains flame resistance at the seam lines.

Rib‑knit cuffs and a rib‑knit waistband add structural integrity and a snug fit that resists billowing sleeves and loose waistbands. These reinforced areas protect against snagging on equipment and reduce the likelihood of fabric tearing at stress points. The shirt’s cut is tailored to accommodate a variety of body types, offering regular, tall, and big sizes in classic colors such as Navy, Carhartt Brown, and Granite Heather. Each size is designed with a slightly longer torso and sleeve length to ensure coverage for taller workers without sacrificing comfort.

Usage

Designed for electricians, welders, construction crews, and other tradespeople who encounter electrical hazards or hot work environments, this shirt serves as a reliable barrier against flame and arc flash incidents. Its flame‑resistant properties make it suitable for tasks that involve soldering, cutting metal, or working near open flames, where traditional cotton shirts would pose a significant risk. The built‑in hood adds an extra layer of defense, allowing workers to keep their heads protected without the need for a separate hard hat liner.

Beyond industrial settings, the shirt performs well in outdoor maintenance roles such as landscaping, utility line servicing, and HVAC installation. The quick‑dry fabric repels light rain and sweat, enabling the wearer to stay dry and comfortable throughout the day. The shirt’s breathable construction also makes it a practical choice for seasonal transitions, providing warmth in cooler mornings while preventing overheating during midday heat.

For emergency responders and rescue teams, the shirt’s durability and flame resistance are valuable assets when entering structures with compromised electrical systems or fire‑damaged areas. The shirt’s easy‑care attributes mean it can be laundered with standard equipment without degrading its protective qualities, ensuring that crews can maintain a ready supply of clean, certified garments.

How should I care for the shirt?

Machine wash the shirt in warm water with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the flame‑resistant treatment. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron directly on the fabric; use a low‑heat setting if needed.

Yes, the hood features a flame‑resistant drawcord that lets you tighten or loosen the fit. This adjustment allows you to customize coverage based on weather conditions or personal preference while maintaining the shirt’s protective properties.
