Workwear1 Adds New Outdoor Safety Name Brand Gear to Its Product Line

Redford, MI -- (SBWire) -- 01/04/2013 --Workwear1, a safety clothing company, announces the launch of new high visibility flame resistant clothing. Included in the new product line are the Carhartt bib overalls and coats. Both products have earned a hazard risk (HRC) rating of 4, the highest possible flame resistant rating. The clothing is designed to protect outdoor workers, like automotive workers, transportation employees and farmers, from injuries caused by events such as vehicular accidents and chemical spills.

Regarding the Carhartt safety clothing it supplies industries like the automotive, farming, transportation and construction industries with, Workwear1's management team says, "Carhartt has taken Personal Protective Clothing to a new level." The management team continues, "Carhartt has taken some Flame Resistant Clothing and morphed it into Flame Resistant Hi Vis Clothing by adding reflective striping to keep you protected on multiple levels."

New flame resistant coats supplied by Workwear1 are 100 percent cotton. The coats are duck lined with a 11.5 ounce quilt lining. A two inch reflective strip crosses the front and back of the coats, helping outdoor workers to be seen. Added visibility is offered with the coats' "X" stripping. An inside waist adjustable draw cord, combined with a rib-knit storm cuff, enhance the coats' flame resistant ability.

Bib overalls recently added to the Workwear1 product line are also designed with duck and a 11.5 ounce quilt lining. The high back suspenders and center-release buckles are flame resistant. To add durability to the overalls, the double front is designed with a chap-style. Protective flaps are added to the ankle to thigh leg zippers.
