Quaker Safety
was founded in 1946 as a manufacturer of protective clothing for industry and automotive seat covers. During the ensuing years, the company expanded into the production of aluminized protective clothing for steel mills, government and other industries. The company began to produce turnout gear for the U.S. Government during the 1960s and by 1986 had made the manufacture of NFPA 1971 compliant structural and proximity turnout gear its primary focus. Quaker Safety began to offer repair services for its turnout gear in the late 1980s, and following its relocation to a new manufacturing facility in 2011 became an NFPA 1851 Verified Independent Service Provider for all brands of turnout gear. Quaker Safety is committed to attaining customer satisfaction by meeting its customers’ delivery, quality, and service requirements and maintaining and continually improving the effectiveness of its Quality Management System. Quaker Safety will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of the fire service industry by offering NFPA 1971 compliant turnout gear with advanced designs, customized options and the latest in fabric technologies in addition to an extensive range of NFPA 1851 verified cleaning and repair services.
Topps Safety Apparel, Inc., a leader in the flame-resistant apparel market, offers a complete range of flame-resistant and public safety garments including coveralls, shirts, pants, shop coats and bib overalls. Certain Topps styles are certified by UL as compliant with the requirements of NFPA 1975-Standard on Station/Work Uniforms for Fire and Emergency Services and NFPA 2112-Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire. Topps also offers shirts, jackets, pants and coveralls for Wildland Fire Fighting which are certified by UL as compliant with the requirements of NFPA 1977-Standard on Protective Clothing and Equipment for Wildland Fire Fighting. Bristol is considered to be a leading manufacturer of fire fighter’s protective clothing. Its products are in use by fire fighters in 110 countries around the world, so they can confidently claim to be a global leader in the design, specification and manufacture of fire fighter personal protective equipment (PPE).

Custom Made Garments
Outer Shells
Moisture Barriers
Quaker Safety offers its customers a broad selection of garment styles, materials and options from which to choose. Custom sized garments enhance the comfort, mobility and safety of the fire fighter. Coats are available in a variety of lengths and a range of even chest sizes from 30” to 68”, with sleeves available in one inch increments. Pants are available in a variety of styles and a range of even waist sizes from 26” to 64”, with inseams available in one inch increments.
The majority of Quaker Safety’s structural outer shells are treated with an enhanced water repellent finish for superior abrasion and water absorption resistance, as compared to conventional water repellent finishes.
All moisture barriers manufactured by W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. and Stedfast Inc. offer outstanding breathability, thermal stability and durability.
Thermal Liners
Liner Seams
The face cloth of all thermal liners manufactured by TenCate Protective Fabrics includes a wicking finish to enhance comfort by moving perspiration away from the body and spreading moisture for improved dissipation.
All major seams are double stitched with Tex 60 NOMEX® thread for extra strength. Lock stitching is used on all minor seams.
Fire Retardant Hook and Loop Tape
Reinforced Stress Points
Reinforced Hardware
All hook and loop tape is treated with a fire retardant (FR) finish to provide a service life far exceeding that of conventional hook and loop tape.
All stress points are bartacked for extra strength.
Secured through at least two layers of material or backed by suede leather to prevent the hardware from “pulling through” the garment.
Pockets
Bar Code Labels
Outer Shell Seams
External pockets include flaps secured with FR hook and loop tape and brass drainage eyelets.
All outer shells and liners include bar code labels to facilitate tracking.
All major seams are quadruple stitched with Tex 90 NOMEX® thread for unsurpassed strength. Lock stitching is used on all minor seams.

In accordance with NFPA Standards, Quaker Safety attaches reflective trim, constructed of both fluorescent and retroreflective materials, to the outer shell of its structural fire fighting garments to enhance visibility. The fluorescent trim enhances daytime visibility while the retroreflec-

tive trim enhances nighttime visibility. (Retroreflectivity values for retroreflective materials are 150 to 1,500 times higher than skin or white fabric). The various brands of reflective trim which Quaker Safety offers improves the likelihood that fire fighters will in fact be “highly visible” both during the daytime and nighttime hours.

General Guidelines
Take all measurements over any clothing or equipment that the user would normally wear underneath the protective garment (e.g., belt, cell phone, pager, etc.), taking into account that individuals may weigh more and wear more clothing during colder months. Patterns for females are available but are seldom necessary to ensure a proper fit. Non-proportional body measurements should be noted on your order. Always provide height and weight measurements. Ensure that there is sufficient overlap as required by NFPA 1500 (current edition). NFPA 1500 mandates that all layers shall have at least a 2” overlap between the coat and pant when measured in both of the following positions: Standing, hands together, reaching overhead as high as possible; and Standing, hands together, reaching overhead with body bent forward, to the side, and to the back as much as possible
Coat lengths of 28” (optional Axis and QS-103), 30” (QS-103 and optional Axis), 32” (Axis and optional QS-103), 34” (optional Axis) and 35” (Traditional and Responder) are available. Radius is available in a standard 30”/36” length and optional 28”/34” and 32”/38” lengths. Patriot is available in a standard 31”/33” length and optional 29”/31” and 33”/35” lengths. Pant styles are waist level (Axis-GPS, Radius-GPS, Traditional and Responder), low rise front with a 3” gradual rise back (Axis and Radius), mid rise front with a 3” gradual rise back (Patriot) and 6” high back (QS-103). Appropriate coat length, pant waist style and suspender lengths should be determined at the time of measuring. Round all fractions up to the next whole number. If in doubt—contact our Customer Service Department at 215-536-2991, ext. 1 for assistance.
Measure Using Tape Measure
Measure Using Sizing Suits
Chest: Raise both arms 90° to the body. Position the measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, over the shoulder blades, and under the arms. Take a deep breath, hold it, and lower arms. Record the largest measurement.
Sizing Suits are available for your use and are the preferred method of obtaining the most accurate measurements; however, properly taken tape measurements work well. Please note that previous generation QS-103/ Traditional sizing suits should not be used. Always try on the sizing coat while wearing the sizing pant to ensure a proper fit.
Sleeve: Raise one arm so that it is at a 90° angle to the body. Next bend your arm so that your hand is towards your chest. Measure from the spine starting just below the base of the neck, around the shoulder and elbow, to the wrist bone. Waist: Measure at the waistline, over belt or pant waistband. Belly: Measure around the body at the navel. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the ankle bone, ensuring that the individual is standing up straight and the tape measure is not bunched up in the crotch. Do not use other manufacturers’ sizes, sizing instructions or garments to determine measurements. Do not allow individuals to measure themselves.
Belly and hip measurements should not be supplied when measurements have been verified using sizing suits. Chest: Wearer should go through a full range of motion to make sure the shoulders and chest fit comfortably. Sleeve: Determine sleeve length by adding or subtracting from the length of the sizing coat sleeve. Waist: Wearer should go through a full range of motion including squatting and climbing to make sure there is adequate room in the seat and thigh. Inseam: Determine inseam length by adding or subtracting from the length of the sizing pant inseam.
