Hot Stuff Safetywear manufactures flame-retardant clothing that actually fits female forms, and it officially launches this month.
IN 2010, WHEN JAIME GLAS WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT, she spent the summer in Houston interning for Chevron. Working in the field, she was issued flame-retardant clothing (FRC), the standard industry uniform. But Glas, the only female on the jobsite, had a problem: There were no women’s sizes.
“I was given a bulky coverall that was a men’s small, but it was huge, too long and just didn’t fit,” she says. “Even the material was terrible—scratchy, canvas-y. It was hot and uncomfortable.”
