Does the flame resistance wash out?

No. The protection comes from the inherent fiber blend, not a topical treatment, so it lasts the life of the garment. Follow the care label to keep performance.

What safety standards does it meet?

It is UL Classified to NFPA 2112 and labeled CAT 2, and meets NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 performance requirements. That makes it suitable for arc-rated work environments.

Carhartt lists it as a loose fit. It is cut roomy through the body, so many buyers who want a trimmer look go down a size.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a lightweight 4.7-ounce shirt meant for mild to hot conditions. In cold weather it works best as a base layer under FR outerwear.

The shirt only. No other items are included.

How should I wash it?

Wash according to the care label, avoiding fabric softener and bleach, which can affect FR performance and wicking. The fabric is wrinkle-resistant, so heavy ironing is rarely needed.
