This is a pre order item. We will ship it when it comes in stock.

Wash & Care:

  • DO NOT PUT IN A WASHING MACHINE. It's not the material we are worried about. It's more the leather shrinking and becoming hard.
  • For a cheaper alternative, we recommend filling the sink with some mild detergent and cold to warm water. 
  • From there, you can dip the garment up to the leather and hand wash the fleece. Ring out the excess water. 
  • Hang dry.

  • Our leather is as real as you. The leather may have imperfections on it because it comes from an animal. Imperfections can be a result of branding, scrapes, cuts, freckles and wrinkles. They are not on every hoodie and do not impede the integrity or performance of our gear.

    The long haul

    Have had my thorax for about 4 years, I'm in upstate Ny so we get 4 months of cold weather and i use this hoodie almost everyday during that time 90% of my work is outside. Lots of torch work and stick welding in all positions. This thing takes it like a champ.

    Cool concept just not a good gift.

    I've kept my eye on these for a while and showed my wife a few years ago, amazed she remembered about it and ended up getting one as a birthday gift. My mother-in-law got me a medium one not looking at the size chart and my wife never asked my size, had she done so I would have told her not to get me one because you dont have a size that would properly fit me and Im not going to spend extra money to have it tailored. Cool concept but make sure you size it out before spending almost $300.

    Excellent Piece of PPE

    I’ve worn a lot of PPE over the years, but this masterpiece sets a new standard. It’s like someone finally asked, “Why can’t safety gear also look and feel incredible?” — and then actually did something about it.

    The leather side brings the toughness you’d expect — durable, resilient, and clearly ready for hard work. The FR cotton side adds comfort and flexibility, keeping you protected without feeling like you’re wrapped in a tarp. Together, they strike that rare balance between function and comfort that most PPE only dreams of achieving.

    It’s the kind of gear that makes you feel just a little more invincible when you put it on. I’ve gotten compliments, curious questions, and possibly a few jealous looks on-site. And honestly? Deserved.

    By far one of the best pieces of clothing I’ve ever bought — protective, practical, and surprisingly stylish.

    Best welding hoodie

    Jam up welding hoodie. Gets a lot of attention. Been welding in it for a month on 12" and it's holding up pretty good. Starting to see burn through in some spots. Not once have I felt a spark or anything hot. Highly recommend this. I had some custom leather work added to back to help reinforce the back and neck like the front.
