We just went through that at my company. The uniforms are made from Indura UltraSoft.

They are provided and cleaned by a local uniform company:

Oberon--This company helped develop the code.

If you haven't researched it yet. FRT and IFR are important to know.

Carhartt has FR clothing that I have purchased and I am happy with. My need is only cat. 2* and my goal is to have at least 8 cal/cm² on from head to toe as work clothes. FR pants and a hooded sweatshirt, then one could pull the hood on and don a face shield/cap and gloves and be compliant for most 480v work.(Hearing protection is required)
