FRC = fire-resistant clothing

is Nomex the best quality, or do you recommend the cotton

I hate my cotton FRC overalls. going to shirt and pants

no plans to do the FRC jeans or fashion shirts. these are work clothes

Thanks in advance

Shirt and pants combo is the way to go.

Carhartt FRC is provided by my employer.

No, I'm not an operator.

Carhartt FRC shirts and the FRC brown work pants are the way to go.

Not a fan of Nomex.

One great thing about FRCs, they are cold in the winter and hot in the summers.

I prefer the Ariat jeans and shirt.

But you don't want to be fancy.

i wear FRC more to grab dirt out of the ground than to walk site and have meetings

seems more like a waste to "be fancy"

Heard that.

I've worked offshore with them and found them to be comfortable. Especially when wearing a harness or squeezing into tight spaces. Just a word of advice though, don't buy the white shirt. Haha.

Not possible in FRC's unless maybe you get coveralls and go complete commando underneath.
