A welding thread, sorry about being off topic for the forum. ;-)

I was mightily impressed by the welding jacket that @RWD3M bought yesterday and showed me on his visit. I have a horrible feeling that it might cost me money.

Are there any pictures?

Hopefully he might model it for us presently. @RWD3M

I picked it up from Noz-alls near Cheltenham about a year ago. I only went in for a new welding helmet, came out with a true colour helmet, this, and a pair of welding gloves.

Looks a darn sight better than the half a dozen bits of leather just about sewn together that passed as welding jackets they issued at one place I worked.

I was wearing Harley Davidson Tshirts long before they played him on the radio.

I have just looked up the description for that model and sadly it won't suit me. However the next model down probably will:

38-4330​

Arc Knight® flame retardant welding jacket, heavy duty 520 gr./m2 flame retardant cotton​

I got a decent, thick, leather (suede) jacket from a charity shop for a fiver.

Traditional split leather-sleeved jackets

Split cowhide sleeves resist spatter and wear, while lightweight material on the chest and back keep the wearer cool and comfortable.

I got one of them - just leather sleeves - full leather is too heavy normally.


Unless it is blowing pins out with a thermal lance time...

Interesting.
I don't think I've seen that style before, not saying it's bad, just different.

I've always worn the green cotton ones, no pockets outside, their on the inside.
That & bib overalls, they let the slag fall right on down thru.
