Our sailors were blue, but now they're kind of a bright yellow-orange...

That's why they're flame-retardant and not fire-proof!

Dude, there are several levels of FR. I am not talking about fireproof as that isnt something we classify. I unfortunately know way too much about this shit because its a huge part of my job as electrical worker. Denim by itself is a very poor material. It needs to be chemically treated to be an effective piece of FR for safety wear.

The dungarees ARE chemically treated. They are treated to self-extinguish unless of course, an accellerant is used. They ain't Levi's!
