T-Shirts

Look for lower fabric weights, such as NKE's 6oz Lightweight Crewneck Tee or the 5.5oz Baselayer Tee in Modacrylic blend, since these stay cooler and more breathable than heavier 6.5oz cotton styles. Lighter weights are a better fit for warm climates or high-exertion jobs where airflow matters most.

100% cotton FR t-shirts, like NKE's 6.5oz Long Sleeve and Henley styles, offer natural softness and breathability for everyday wear. The 5.5oz Modacrylic blend Baselayer Tee adds moisture management and stretch, making it better suited for layering under other FR gear or for jobs with heavy sweat exposure.

Yes, styles like NKE's Baselayer Tee are specifically designed for layering under an FR jacket or hoodie in colder conditions. Every layer worn against the skin needs to be FR-rated for the full layering system to stay effective and safe.

Wash FR t-shirts in warm water with a mild detergent and avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and starch, as these coat the fibers and can weaken flame resistance over time. Line drying or tumble drying on low heat helps preserve both the fit and the FR properties longer.

NKE's t-shirt collection includes long sleeve crewneck tees, Henleys, lightweight crewneck tees, baselayer tees, and graphic tees, available in fabric weights ranging from 5.5oz to 6.5oz. This range covers everything from everyday wear to layering pieces for colder job conditions.

FR t-shirts are generally cut with a bit more room through the body and sleeves to allow free movement during physical work, so they can fit slightly looser than a standard casual tee of the same size. Checking the specific product's size chart before ordering helps get an accurate fit, since it can vary slightly between styles like the Henley and the crewneck tee.
