Former Florida Federal Firefighter and entrepreneur Sean Conant has introduced FILO Apparel, a new line of fire-resistant clothing aimed at providing firefighters with safe, affordable, and hassle-free uniforms. Sean Conant, Co-founder and Vice President of Sales at FILO, draws from his 18 years of experience as a first responder to address the challenges faced by firefighters when sourcing uniforms. Motivated by his own frustrations, Conant partnered with friend Dan McLaughlin to prioritize the needs of firefighters in the creation of FILO Apparel.
FILO Apparel offers direct-to-consumer uniforms at significantly lower prices compared to traditional suppliers, with savings of up to 56%. Additionally, the brand provides free shipping, faster delivery times, complimentary inseam tailoring for pants, and customizable features such as name tapes and badge holders.
Specializing in PFAS-free Nomex® fire station pants, shirts, and shorts, FILO ensures the safety and well-being of firefighters by eliminating exposure to hazardous chemicals. PFAS, known for their harmful health effects, are absent in FILO’s products, offering peace of mind to first responders.
Women firefighters particularly appreciate FILO’s line of fire-resistant clothing, as the brand offers styles that are both professional and feminine, catering to their unique needs. FILO’s women’s Nomex® pants and shirts receive praise for their superior fit and comfort, providing functionality without compromising on style.
