The thing about FR’s is the cost. If your company buys them no problem (mine does), they are around $70 or more the last time I got some. Probably closer to $100 now.
Big deal.
You are buying fire retardant clothing to protect yourself from
horrible pain or death. And it's speciality stuff, so, $$.
Have you priced some of these jeans recommended here?
Every time there is a jean thread, every ad for
American made jeans, I investigate. As a factory worker, there
is a strong desire to support my fellow Americans.
Then I see the price.
Over a hundred bucks for a pair of (what used to be) common blue jeans!
Who really pays that to wear them where they are going to actually work?
As in get greasy, snagged, tore...?
Considering all that, FR stuff is a bargin!
