Is this jacket actually flame-resistant?

Yes. It is an Ariat FR garment made from flame-resistant cotton canvas, intended for arc-rated and welding work. Check the label for the specific arc rating before relying on it on site.

How does it compare with a standard duck canvas work jacket?

The stretch canvas gives more freedom of movement than rigid duck, and the FR construction adds protection a standard jacket lacks. It is generally heavier and warmer than a non-FR canvas jacket.

How should I wash it to keep the FR protection?

Follow the care label: wash separately from non-FR clothing and avoid fabric softener or bleach, which can coat or degrade the fabric. Ironing is listed in the care instructions.

Does it run true to size?

It is cut as a roomy work jacket to layer over shirts, so most buyers stay with their usual size. Size down if you want a closer fit.

What sizes and colors are available?

It comes in gray and in sizes from Small through 4XL, including 3XL and 4XL. Check the size chart for chest measurements before ordering.

Is it warm enough for winter work?

It is a canvas shell without heavy insulation, so it works as a mid-layer or outer layer in cool weather. In deep cold, pair it with an FR base layer or an insulated FR jacket.
