It has been reported that the single most common cause of severe burn injuries on the job stems from a workers clothing sparking, catching fire, and then continuing to burn. Wrangler Jeans uses flame resistant material for jeans and shirts in its new fire resistant line to provide the necessary thermal protection right where the area of exposure might be.

The amount of protection that a material in Wrangler Jeans has depends on the weight of the flame resistant fabric, in addition to the composition. With non flame retardant clothing, once the source of ignition is presented and then removed, the clothing will keep burning. However, Wrangler Jeans has come up with materials that will self extinguish when the ignition source is removed. This allows more time to get out the clothing, limiting the risk of serious burns by limiting the percentage of the body that is burned.

In many cases, Wrangler Jeans knows that in many cases, its clothing can mean the difference between life and death.
