Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a specialized garment designed for professionals operating in environments where heat exposure is a constant variable. This long-sleeved polo shirt balances the need for protective performance with the aesthetic of traditional corporate workwear. Engineered for cooler weather, it provides a crucial layer of safety without the bulk often associated with flame-resistant clothing. The black colourway offers a clean, versatile appearance suitable for a variety of industrial settings.
Key Features
- The three-button placket provides a professional appearance while allowing for adjustable ventilation as work intensity changes.
- Integrated ribbed collar and cuffs ensure a secure fit that helps to retain warmth and prevents the sleeves from interfering with manual tasks.
- The long-sleeve design offers extended coverage for the arms, which is essential for both thermal insulation and protection against heat.
- The lightweight fabric construction ensures that the wearer remains comfortable throughout long shifts without being weighed down.
Design & Performance
The technical superiority of this polo shirt lies in its fabric composition. It is constructed from Modaflame Knit, a sophisticated blend of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Carbon Fibre. Modacrylic provides inherent flame resistance that will not wash out over time, while the high cotton content ensures the fabric remains breathable and soft against the skin. The inclusion of carbon fibre is a deliberate engineering choice to provide anti-static properties, which is vital in many technical environments. The result is a garment that feels like a standard high-quality knit but performs to rigorous safety standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a unified and professional image, the Modaflame Knit FR Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is fully compatible with both print and embroidery. For a superior, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual staff names; it provides a textured, high-quality look that withstands the rigours of industrial laundering. Alternatively, printing is an excellent choice for larger designs or when a bold, flat finish is required. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for workers in industries exposed to heat and flame risks who require a professional appearance. It is an ideal choice for site managers, engineers, and technicians working in cooler conditions or controlled environments. The understated black design makes it equally suitable for client-facing roles where safety compliance is non-negotiable but a smart appearance is required.

Practical Advice
Given the 4XL sizing of this particular item, it is well-suited for use as a comfortable top layer over a base layer during colder months. The Modaflame knit is designed for a regular fit, providing enough room for movement without being excessively baggy, which is important for safety when working near machinery.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the protective performance of your flame-resistant garment requires adherence to specific care protocols. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can lead to fabric degradation and may cause the garment to lose its shape over time.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Aggressive bleaching agents will compromise the chemical structure of the fibres and can strip away the protective qualities of the Modaflame knit. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided as the solvents used in the process are not compatible with this specific fabric blend.
For drying, we advise line drying only. You must not tumble dry this shirt, as the intense heat of a dryer can cause shrinkage and damage the ribbed cuffs. If ironing is necessary to maintain a professional appearance, use a low heat setting not exceeding 110°C to ensure you do not scorch the modacrylic fibres.
