What to look for in mill hi vis

  • Class 3 in the woodyard. Workers around log loaders, trucks and rail cars are best seen in sleeved Class 3 garments.
  • FR and arc-rated where required. FR-treated vests won't add fuel to a flash fire, and arc-rated garments are rated for electrical hazards. Your hazard assessment decides which you need.
  • Heat and cut protection for hands. Hot mill gloves for dryer sections and boilers; cut-resistant gloves for knives, slitters and roll handling.
  • Hearing protection. Corded and uncorded foam plugs in bulk for high-noise areas.

Hi vis lime and black jacket decorated with a company logo on the chest

Your mill, your brand

We decorate in-house: your logo on the chest and the mill or department name across the back. Decoration on FR garments has to keep the garment's rating intact, so we confirm the method for each style before quoting. See our decoration and branding options.

Ordering for one mill or several

  • Decorated orders: 12-piece minimum per design.
  • Turnaround: blank (undecorated) orders ship in 3–5 days; decorated orders take about 15 days. Fall and winter are our busiest season, so order early.
  • Sizes for the whole crew: select styles run up to 9X, with tall sizes and women's fits on some styles.
  • Multiple mills, one price list: a national account or employee store keeps approved gear and pricing the same at every site.
  • Purchasing: open accounts are available to established accounts by approval.

Do you sell hot mill gloves by the dozen?

Yes. All gloves are sold by the dozen. Shop hot mill gloves.

Can you put our logo on FR garments?

Yes, once we confirm a decoration method that keeps the garment's rating intact. Ask for a quote.

How long do orders take?

Decorated orders take about 15 days, and blank (undecorated) orders ship in 3–5 days. Fall and winter are our busiest season, so order early.
