ABSTRACT:
A firefighter's turnout coat comprises a body portion cut to define armholes, shoulder sections, neck sections, a hem and a front opening of the coat wherein the shoulder sections are formed to include excess front to back material to form a shoulder having a shallow angle wherein shoulder pockets are formed at the upper ends of the armholes. Distances of the armholes to the hem of the body portion range preferably from 22-23 inches for a body portion having a length of approximately 35 inches. Full length sleeves include excess circumferential material within the mid-portions thereof to increase the fullness of the sleeves. Bellows for interconnecting the lower portions of the sleeves to the raised armholes are enlarged in their width dimensions such that firefighters wearing a turnout coat can raise their arms above their heads with substantially reduced ride-up of the hem and sleeves of the turnout coat to thereby reduce potential exposure of their torsos and wrists in a shorter, lighter weight coat.
