"...50 percent cotton and 50 percent nylon..."

Un-Be_Lievable. Stunning. I am a dope when it comes to clothing, but even I know you don't use standard issue clothing with that blend in an environment where you may have to deal with fires.

Stunning.

When I was in the Navy (long ago) the standard issue dungarees were a nylon blend. When wet and tied at the ankles they would hold air and could be used as a floatation device. They were quite stiff, would melt if too hot. Most chose to wear the optional cotton dungarees instead.
