What Is a Fire Dept Class A Uniform?

A Fire Department Class A Uniform is the formal dress uniform worn by firefighters and officers for ceremonial occasions — promotional ceremonies, funerals, award presentations, city council appearances, and other official public events. It represents the highest standard of professional presentation for a fire department and must meet strict departmental and municipal specifications for fabric, insignia placement, and appearance.

Class A uniforms differ significantly from daily work uniforms. They typically feature a pressed dress shirt in department colors (most commonly navy or black), dress trousers with matching piping or stripe, dress cap, full rank insignia, badge, and any awarded unit citations. The fabric must be flame-resistant (FR-rated) to comply with NFPA standards, which is why most departments specify Bulwark Excel FR ComforTouch or Nomex IIIA materials for their Class A garments.

At Precision Graphics, we supply and embroider Fire Dept Class A Uniforms for Arizona fire departments — from the garments themselves to the precision embroidery of rank insignia, department names, badge numbers, and custom logos. Our in-house digitizing ensures every stitch is regulation-compliant and placed to your department's exact specifications.

FR Materials Guide

Understanding FR Fabric for Fire Dept Class A Uniforms

Not all FR fabrics are equal. Here's what you need to know about the two most common materials used in Class A fire department uniforms.

Bulwark Excel FR® ComforTouch®
Bulwark Protective Apparel
The most widely used FR fabric for fire department dress uniforms. Excel FR ComforTouch combines inherent flame resistance with a soft, comfortable hand-feel that holds a crisp, pressed appearance — making it ideal for Class A ceremonial wear. The 7 oz. weight provides excellent comfort during extended formal events without sacrificing protection.
Inherent FR — protection doesn't wash out
Soft ComforTouch finish — professional appearance
NFPA 70E / NFPA 2112 compliant
Arc Flash Rating: 8.7 cal/cm²
Available in navy, black, and khaki
Nomex® IIIA
DuPont Nomex — Bulwark Construction
Nomex IIIA is the premium FR fabric of choice for departments requiring the highest level of flame and arc flash protection in their dress uniforms. It is inherently flame-resistant at the fiber level — meaning the protection cannot be washed out — and meets stringent NFPA standards. Nomex is lighter weight than Excel FR (4.5 oz. or 6 oz.) while maintaining superior protection ratings.
Inherent FR — permanent protection
Lightweight 4.5 oz. or 6 oz. options
NFPA 70E / NFPA 2112 / OSHA compliant
Superior arc flash and thermal protection
Available in navy, black, and tan

"Arizona Precision Graphics did an excellent job with my custom T-shirt. Precision Graphics is a licensed vendor with the Boy Scouts of America which was mandatory for my order — demonstrating the same compliance standards required for official uniform programs. My design was complicated and I had a strict deadline, but I received the shirts with time to spare. The staff was available to answer all my questions via phone and email."

"I LOVE THIS COMPANY! We used another company for our uniforms and swag before we found Precision Graphics but they were always making mistakes. We gave PG a shot at our business and they won us over! Their timelines are reasonable and they never say they can do something they won't follow through with. Nikki has been my concierge and she is amazing!"
