where to find welding jacket/sleeves

[atch]

Many years ago I found a leather welding jacket at a swap meet. It had full sleeves and the front went down to belt line or below. Turned out it was to small for me so I gave it to a friend who fit into it nicely.

I've been looking for another one in my size. I've Googled it to death. The closest I've come is this from Grainger:



This is close but I want the front to go below belt line so I don't get any hot steel down my pants.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find it?




EDIT:

WAIT; I LEFT OUT THAT I DON'T WANT ANY BACK. I ONLY WANT THE FRONT AND SLEEVES.

I'm not looking for your run-of-the-mill welding jacket. They are everywhere.

The snaps on the front of the jacket pictured are for a replaceable apron section.

I use these Welding Sleaves. I love them, and use them always.

I am not a fan of jackets as i get hot to fast.

Yes i have weld burns all over my hairy chest.

Try wherever you buy your Welding Consumables.

If you don’t buy Welding Consumables, you probably don’t need Welding Leathers.

Know anybody with a sewing machine ? If you buy one that isn't leather, basically it's a cotton jacket, you can have them modify it to your desire.

Personally, I like a full jacket. If I have to crawl on the floor or under the car, I'm not getting dirty nor have a berry roll under me.


This is the jacket I have (along with a regular green one) and it fits nice with the waist straps. When it's time to replace, I will buy another.

Granted, I paid $40 at my LWS and not Cyberweld because I was getting a cylinder swap.. . . and the wife had shrank my green one.

Unless you're doing overhead, you'd do well with just sleeves alone.

But yeah that upper torso setup looks pretty cool.

You might have to buy a full leather jacket and cut the back off. I have only seen half leathers and full leathers.
I got rid of all my leathers ( too hot ) and use fabric ones instead.

To each their own, but I hate burning little holes in my T-shirts. I wear a jacket every time.

Personal preference for sure.

I have no holes in any of my shirts and I'm welding about once every other day or two.

Only at the fab shops I worked at did I wear a welding jacket but those fuckers get you real warm.

Try using "welding cape with sleeves" for your search, rather than welding jacket. Lots of hits....
