Orange And Brown Strollers
Fluorescent Orange Tshirt Put Wellbeing First
The 1960s seem long ago to many people but the lasting impression made by that decade on the world of fashion is still unfolding. One of those quirky influences is in the realm of color, especially the eye-popping psychedelic-influenced tones. That color trend was quickly seized by both the entertainment and fashion industries, and fluorescent orange t shirts became popular soon afterward.
The Science
True fluorescence, found in nature, in quite different from garish, bright clothing dyes. It is a phenomenon that occurs in many creatures and substances both on land and under the sea and is generally produced by absorbing and converting non-visible photons into visible displays. The term fluorescence is actually named after fluorite, a natural mineral that glows.
Natural fluorescence is quite different, however, from that found in factory-made clothing. T shirts today benefit from improved clothing dyes which make the colors not only brighter, but even reflective. Brighteners and other additives designed to amplify light particles not only make these clothing items into fun fashion items but they also make them highly visible day and night.
In The Safety Industry
While this consequence was not the original intent of clothing designers, anyone whose job puts them in danger of injury, from factory workers to crossing guards, can benefit from the extra measure of visibility. Day or night, bright orange seems to work best for most uses but the same chemical treatment has been used with yellow, lime green and even hot pink.
Greater Awareness
Today, there are truly valid reasons for using these kinds of colors in manufacturing safety garments ranging from the ever-present cotton t-shirt to the dyes used in coloring the clothing worn by heavy equipment operators. Simply wearing these glowing uniforms automatically creates a greater awareness through an amplified visual presence. Untold numbers of accidents have been prevented because of this new safety clothing.
Usefull Elsewhere As Well
Workers are not the only ones to benefit from the improvements in these fluorescent fabric dyes, which have made their way into the clothing favored by outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. When combined with newly developed, super-warm and extremely strong fabrics, they make the ideal material for creating safety jackets and other apparel easily visible when worn by hunters, hikers, and other people enjoying the outdoors.
Fleeces, sweatshirts and even trousers can now be found with the same flashy bright orange colors as t-shirts. But clothing, however, is not the only area where these neon-bright colors are used. From laptop carriers to shopping bags, the same kinds of dyes are used to make these items harder to misplace or even steal. The colors have gone mainstream, and can often be found on company logos.
Basic fluorescent orange t shirts sold for safety must meet certain standards and the sleeveless look is usually not allowed. The safety tee shirts must be made of durable cotton, which is easily worn in all kinds of weather. Some makers add reflective bands for enhanced visibility at night. From their humble beginnings as psychedelic icons, they have finally become not only useful but also respectable.
