Products

• How do I wash the apparel items?

  Turn items inside out and machine wash in cold water using mild detergent. Tumble dry on low. For items with moisture wicking properties, avoid using fabric softener.

• How many washes will your garments go through and still hold their color?

  We do product testing on all products that are a minimum of 25 times wash/dry/wear cycles. With that, we recommend for maximum color fastness, that customers close all fasteners (zippers, Velcro, snaps, etc) and wash their garments inside out. This will extend the life and color of their products. We do use premium materials and dyestuff, but any time we include the comfort of cotton into the material blend, we recommend that they take a bit of care to extend the color life of their gear.

• Are any garments fire resistant?

  We offer a selection of 100% cotton items for men and women, including the Tactix Cotton L/S Shirt, the Tactix Cotton S/S shirt, the Cotton Job Shirt, the Cotton L/S, and the Cotton S/S polo. These are great options for fire professionals, as they will not melt or drip.

• Are your garments true to size?

  Yes, Sizing should run true to size and in accordance with industry standard.

• Will your garments conceal my weapon?

  At this time we do not have any garments specifically designed for concealed carry however the Tactix stretch pants do offer a comfort waistband that will flex if the customer prefers to wear an IWB holster. Likewise, our woven shirts have enough body in the materials to minimize any outward printing of a CCW.

• Are your women's pants considered low rise or high rise?

  The women's pants would be considered a mid rise in todays market. These are specifically designed for a uniform, professional customer as compared to fashion. We have intentionally fit the pants to allow for the many activities and performance needs of our target consumer so that they can bend, move and function in their everyday active work environment.

• What does Blood-Bourne Pathogen Resistance mean?

  An independent laboratory has tested this product and has found that the materials and seams provide passing results when tested in accordance with ASTM F 1671, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens. Please be advised that despite garment materials and seams satisfying the standards of ASTM F 1671, we cannot guarantee that the garment provides an adequate barrier to viruses in all conditions. All consumer will need to be aware of the specific hazards in their workplace in order to best determine the appropriate types and levels of personal protective clothing and equipment that they might need. To maintain proper performance, First Tactical products must be maintained in accordance with the care instructions on the product label.
