WHAT TO ASK WHEN
PURCHASING A NEW SUIT:
1) Are your suits SFI certified? What does that mean?
a) When determining what kind of garment we are going to manufacture, how many
layers, etc., a fabric swatch or combinations of fabric swatches are sent to
the SFI Laboratory to be tested for it's thermal protection capability
(fire-retardant). When finished, the garment should have a label sewn to
it that states it meets the SFI requirements.
2) Do you do alterations? Can you repair my suit if I get a tear in it? If I
change sponsors, can you change the panels?
a) The agreement with the SFI Laboratory is that the only one that can work
on a finished garment is the manufacturer of the garment. This is so that
the garment is not compromised by the use of fabrics or notions that are not
certified fire-retardant. A good driver's suit could last from 5 to 10 years
or more, if it's taken good care and repaired as quickly as possible, if
needed.
If you have a question regarding driver's suits, please ask.
