One holey jacket. D'oh!

Now that the weather is getting cooler I thought I'd post a warning.

Learn from my mistakes!

Fleece is a great source of fun with a heat source in the area. It'll burn in a heartbeat.

Too funny...I'll stick to denim jackets, thanks for the warning!

Cigars= many Many fleeces=0

I grab my rattiest, fleece now, I think it's the one that got scorched when I set my pond on fire a couple years ago. :fl (That's another thing you might not want to do, for the record)
I do dig fleece jackets though, I probably have 4 or 5 of them, and so far have managed to keep the current crop hole free, (except for one or two).:rolleyes:

I know what you mean. My favorite Columbia fleece now has a pretty neat little hole right on the collarbone. Oops.

Burnt a huge hole in a fleece pullover a few years ago while taking a lunch break. Had to come back to the office and use the stapler to stich it closed. Didn't want all the ladies to pass out from the mear glimps of my ripped abs as they past my cubie. :r

Fleece jackets burn faster then my credit cards, I was shrink wrapping a boat a few years ago and melted a jacket into a little ball of plastic whatever with one hit of the shrink wrap gun scared the hell out of me so me and fire and fleece don't mix:fl

Fleece is made from Wool.

Wool burns. Fast.

Hence, Fleece burns fast.

Don't get it near a heat source.

I may be mistaken, but most Fleece (These days) 80-100% Polyester... and Wool does not burn very easily.

Tell that to the 100% Alpaca wool blanket I used to have.

But you're right about polyester. First it starts melting and then it burns.

Guess I better be careful. I almost always smoke in a fleece when it's chilly out, apparently I've been lucky so far.

The fleece jackets he's talking about are all synthetic and they burn up/melt FAST. These things are popular and cheap, but don't ever wear one around the campfire (or, like we've found, while smoking). Wool and cotton are more flame resistant than synthetics used in clothing, but not quite as flame resistant as your skin. You can always check in with those people that do all the fire stuff ( like these http://www.firefootbag.com/faq.html http://www.templeofpoi.com/poi/fire/safety.php ) and they should know - they say cotton, denim, leather, wool, etc, natural materials.

That is why I smoke outside with only my boxers on :ss, well at least I used to. Time to hibernate for the winter and wait for the warm spring weather.

Alright everyone just go out and buy a Carhartt J149 and youll be set. I swear those damn things are fire proof, even the insulation inside. I was smokin a cigar in my friends truck and it wasnt buring even so I stuck it out the window to heat it up a bit and some embers went into my sleeve and burned my forearm but the Carhartt its self was fine :tu:cb

Funny and relevant thread. I managed to scorch my fleece at the Phillies parade last Friday. Live and learn.

Never had a problem with the fleece. No holes in mine. My eyelashes have been singed a few times from purging the cigar when it was too short.

The Army issues us hot & cold weather Nomex flight gloves, which are nice, because they are fire resistant, so you don't melt them when you are smoking a nub.
