A product that is bluesign® APPROVED has been certified to meet strict environmental and safety standards. This means that the materials used are produced sustainably, reducing harmful substances and promoting responsible resource use. Choosing bluesign® APPROVED products helps support eco-friendly practices and ensures that the manufacturing process is safe for both the environment and the workers involved.

The UPF rating indicates how well a fabric protects your skin from harmful UV rays. A UPF rating of 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV radiation, significantly reducing your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. If you plan to spend time outdoors, especially in sunny conditions, choosing clothing with a high UPF rating is essential for your skin's protection.

Cotton flannel is known for its soft, fuzzy texture, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. It is breathable and warm, making it an excellent choice for casual wear, especially in colder weather. The fabric's natural properties help regulate body temperature, ensuring you stay cozy without overheating.

The yoke is a structural element that fits around the shoulders and back of a shirt, providing support and enhancing the garment's fit. In our shirts, the yoke is reinforced with overlays to increase durability in areas that experience a lot of movement, such as when lifting or reaching. This design feature ensures that the shirt maintains its shape and lasts longer, even with regular wear.

Heavyweight fabric refers to thicker and denser materials that provide more insulation and warmth. This makes heavyweight shirts ideal for colder weather, as they offer better protection against the chill. If you're looking for a shirt that will keep you warm and comfortable during the winter months, opting for heavyweight fabric is a smart choice.

The combination of bluesign® APPROVED materials, high UPF ratings, soft cotton flannel, reinforced yokes, and heavyweight fabric all contribute to a product that is not only comfortable and stylish but also environmentally friendly and durable. These features ensure that you are making a smart investment in clothing that will last, protect you, and support sustainable practices.
