I got the Tranemo jacket a week or two before Christmas and it has hardy been off my back since.
Due to me working on fishing boats it gets kind of grubby and sometime smelly so it has been washed 4 times so far.
I have done a fair bit of welding with it on and some overhead on corroded Aluminium and it seems to be standing up well, absolutely no burn marks on it yet and hopefully that will be the way it stays.
It is very comfortable, the fabric is quite soft and very flexible and relatively light. The seams are all stitched overlapped so that there are no bits for spatter to get caught in. The pockets have over flaps so again spatter can not get trapped in the pockets.
There are 4 pockets on the outside, the two breast pockets have flaps with studs and the two lower ones just flaps. There is also an inside pocket with a small flap which catches with velcro, it is ideal for a smart phone and can accommodate quite a large phone at that, my Blackview BV6000 rugged phone fits easily.
It is wind proof and although not lined it is, due to that, quite warm for winter wear, the back is also vented so for summer use (not that we get much up this way) it should be quite cool to wear.
It seems, at least so far, to be very abrasion resistant as well and I am very happy with it to date.
It is expensive but seems to be worth it, I have not had burn holes in my arms since I got it and that has to be worth something
Some pics.
Extra fat bar steward size.

Lower pockets
Inside pocket
The vents, as can be seen they are stitched so that spatter can not enter or get trapped.
