We also have a size run of common stlyes in store with a sizing area and fitting rooms to try on your uniform before purchasing.

General Information

 

We provide service and support to each department that is ordering Uniforms. As you work through the following steps, feel free to send us an e-mail or call us with any questions you have. If you are seeking a uniform not listed as a stock option please contact us by telephone or email.

​

Choose Shirt Style and Color

 

Our selection of Dress Uniform Coats are created from four basic coat styles:

• Button Up

• Hidden Zipper Front w/ False Buttons

• With or Without Epaulettes

• With or Without Badge Tabs

• With or Without Hidden Document Pockets (Velcro or Zippered Closures)

• Pleated or Non-Pleated

• Anti-Microbial and Athletic Stretch Mesh Under Arms

• Fabric Type & Color

• NFPA & Certified FR Apparel

​

Choose Trousers  / Skirt

 

Once you have selected your coat style, deciding on trousers should be fairly straightforward. Some departments opt for the premium stretch waist band. Typically most organizations go with the same trouser (matching fabric color, material, and weave) to match their coat selection, though we can do custom fabrics and colors if desired.

​

Choose Alteration and Fitting Options

 

We are very concerned with how your uniforms fit. The most common method is to fit you with a sizing set. We can take measurements but it is usually best to try on the apparel to find the best fitting and most comfortable size. We can also take additional measurements or pin the apparel for additional tailoring (additional cost**). 

​

We can send one of our staff to fit your department. Typically our staff will need at least a few days or even a few weeks of advanced notice to schedule a date that works for both parties.

​

Fire Rescue And Tactical has an experienced group of tailors and offers in-house alterations at an additional charge. Using us for alterations will typically extend our delivery time a few weeks. Most dress pants come unhemmed and will require hemming. We can have the uniforms altered by the manufacturers but this usually adds several weeks to the delivery time.

​

Request Quotation

 

When you have a rough idea of what you are interested in, compile the information in an e-mail (First Responder Department) and send it to us for a quotation. We will review and respond to your message via phone or e-mail, followed with a quote. The general information we need:

​

• Shirt Style, Color, and Fabric

• Trousers / Skirt

• Accessories Needed

• Quantity of Uniforms

• Badge Style, Finish(s), Center Seal, Hard or Soft Enamel, Etc.

• Please Let Us Know If You Will Need Patches Or If You Will Provide Patches (Station Patch Orders Can Take Up To 1 Month To Process**)

• Budget Restraints Per Uniform or For The Overall Project (if applicable)

• Requested Delivery Date & Event

• Date The Quote Is Needed By

• If You Currently Have Uniforms That You Wish To Match, Please Include Numerous Photos of The Ensemble, Garment Tags, Brand, Part Numbers, Stripes, Badges, Nameplates, Collar Insignia, Buttons, Caps, Belts, Dress Shoes, Parade Gloves, Patch Locations, Etc.

​

Get Fitted / Submit Sizes & Measurements

 

Once we have determined what brand and style uniforms you wish to go with we can get you fitted and sized so we can place the order. We can use customer provided measurements but we HIGHLY RECOMMEND allowing a trained staff member measure and fit you for a Class A Uniform. To measure yourself reference our most common measuring & sizing guides here or contact us here to schedule a fitting in store or at your department.

​

Issue Purchase Order

 

There can be a fair amount of dialog needed when initially placing the order; which is a part of the service Fire Rescue & Tactical provides to our customers to ensure your order is correct the first time. When everything is decided, your agency can submit a Purchase Order for the uniforms via email to orders.frt@gmail.com , by standard mail, or by faxing it to (540) 251-0340. A verbal or written approval is also acceptable. If you have not received a confirmation within 48 hours please contact us to assure the order has been received.

​

Your Order is Filled

​

We will ship orders containing stock items immediately after we receive your purchase order. Otherwise, delivery time depends on how customized your order is. Custom colors and cloths can take as much as twelve weeks for delivery.

​

Payment

 

All department purchase orders will be billed NET 30 days from delivery unless other terms are requested. All other orders and individual orders must be paid in advance or before the items are shipped / picked up in store.

 

If your agency or department does not currently have an account established with us you can quickly and easily establish one by filling out and returning this new customer account form along with all applicable federal and state sales tax exempt forms found here.
