Straight A’s for These Welding Jackets
While most welders wear cotton clothing on the job site, a welding jacket is a safe way to protect yourself and your clothing with tried and true fire resistant fabric. Here are a few popular welding jackets that will be ideal for welding students from day one of class to graduation:
The Black Stallion Stretch-Back FR Cotton Welding Jacket
If you need to balance safety in your welding jacket with a cool, comfortable, and flexible fit, then this Black Stallion jacket is ideal for you. With rugged, fully fireproof material on the front, it has a cooler fire resistant cotton back that stretches, cools, and allows more air to flow.
This jacket is designed for light duty TIG and MIG welding projects. It is 32 inches long and has 6 powder-coated stainless steel front snaps and wrist snaps. You can wash it up to 50 times at home and still retain its fire resistant qualities.
