Button Down Shirts

Yes, button-down FR shirts typically have a more traditional, polished appearance, making them a common choice for supervisors, site visits, or client-facing roles on the job. Snap-front FR shirts offer the same protection but lean toward a faster, more utilitarian on-and-off style suited to hands-on work.

Most certified FR button-down shirts are built to meet flash fire (NFPA 2112) and arc flash (NFPA 70E) standards, but ratings can vary by fabric weight and construction. Always check the specific product's certification details or label to confirm it meets your job site's required CAT level.

A mid-weight fabric like NKE's 6.5oz Cotton Ripstop balances breathability with durability, making it suitable for daily wear across most job site conditions. Lighter fabrics suit hot climates better, while heavier options are generally reserved for colder weather or added abrasion resistance.

Wash FR button-down shirts in warm water with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach, fabric softeners, and starch, since these can coat the fibers and weaken flame resistance over time. Tumble drying on low heat or air drying helps maintain both the fit and the FR properties through repeated washes.

Yes, FR button-down shirts are cut similarly to standard work shirts and can be tucked in or worn untucked depending on your company's dress code or uniform policy. The Cotton Ripstop fabric holds its shape well through regular wear, making it suitable for a consistent, professional uniform look across a crew.

NKE's FR Shield Work Button Shirt is available in Navy, Khaki, and Grey, all made from the same 6.5oz, 100% Cotton Ripstop fabric. These neutral tones are chosen to match standard workwear color requirements across most industrial job sites.
