Lots of people carry FR clothing. I have bought from both Bulwark and Carhartt. Actually I don't think I even have anything from Salisbury.

NFPA 70E has information on the ratings for clothing. Most people simplify their clothing by only using the hazard risk categories 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 so some clothing is even sold with labels like these.
 
I was curious because I doubt L&M Fleet carry it and my other choices are kmart, target, walmart. JC penny's, and herburgers.. so I am open to suggestions so I can find them on a road trip..

I doubt that you will find it in a retail store. I order mine online.

I get my general wear FR clothing (pants and shirts) from my local Carhartt store. I get my coverall and suits from mail-order.

I looked at the Carhartt shirts and pants, but they are foreign made and at least 50% more than a the ones I buy that are made from the exact same fabric and made in the US.
 
not to ask you to promote but can you give me a couple of links..I normally don't like to by clothes of the Internet cant try them on and pain to return..But I need to get more than one set..does nomex qualify as one of the materials for this..
