Blue gets the red out

Nov. 18, 2008
After years of consumer, technology and manufacturing research, Walls has developed a jacket that looks, feels and wears like contemporary stonewashed outerwear, but has the flame-resistant technology and special features to protect the wearer in hazardous environments.
The sturdy, 100% cotton, FR-treated denim jacket is designed for safety right down to the YKK faux shank buttons, which won’t melt in high temperatures, and is fastened instead with inside snaps, so it can be ripped open quickly in case of fire or electrical arc.

The patented ITEX-processed fabric delivers 14.8 cal/cu meters ATPV for utility and 70E workers so that the jacket will meet or exceed U.S. government standards with protection that will never wash out.
