CAL FIRE Cares Enough to Wear Pink — 2026
50% of the proceeds from this item goes to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.
Part of the national “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” campaign. Pink CAL FIRE patches have been approved for uniform wear during the month of October. Printed with the 2026 campaign artwork: pink left-chest logo and full pink back design.
OFF-DUTY ITEM — not an approved on-duty uniform component. This item is offered for off-duty wear only and is not part of any CAL FIRE duty uniform classification under Handbook 1500.
The premium CAL FIRE crew. Built on Independent Trading Co.'s IND5000C “Legend” — the heaviest crewneck they make — this is a 13.5 oz / 450 gsm slab of brushed-back fleece with no hood and no zipper. Just a serious sweatshirt for cold mornings on the station floor, PT in the fog, and everything off-shift.
Why the Legend
- 13.5 oz / 450 gsm heavyweight fleece — 70/30 ring-spun cotton/polyester with a 3-end brushed back for a soft, dense hand.
- 20-singles ring-spun cotton face — a smooth, stable print surface. On our solid Navy, the face yarn is 100% ring-spun cotton.
- Cross-grain-cut body panels — the body is cut against the grain to limit vertical shrinkage, so it holds its length wash after wash.
- Double-ribbed side panels — add stretch and shape for a comfortable fit.
- Reverse coverstitch on every seam — for durability and a premium, finished look.
- 1×1 rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband — 100% cotton ribbing at the cuffs and waistband holds its shape and snaps back.
- Tear-away woven label — tagless comfort at the neck.
Fit & sizing
Classic, true-to-size unisex fit. Available in Navy, sizes S–3XL.
Campaign print
Printed by All Risk Uniforms with the 2026 CAL FIRE Cares Enough to Wear Pink artwork: pink ribbon logo on the left chest and the full pink dozer design across the back. There is no logo to choose.
Care
Machine wash cold, inside out; tumble dry low. The cross-grain cut keeps shrinkage to a minimum.
