Look out for the Esab jackets on ebay, half the price as the same ones from welding shops and last a good while. I buy them for our lads.

I have one too, tends to be xl and I'm slim. But at least in the winter can wear a coat under it.

I bought one of the leather ones that are like a back to front coat, so the buttons are down your spine - got it off ebay years ago. To be honest I very rarely use it as I find it quite restricting

The Red-Line range from Lincoln are very nice, bit pricey though.

ye don't look an xxl on yer vids. I use a thin motor cycle jacket when welding overhead and under cars etc, seems to stop the spatter burning me and nice and flexible. Its an old frank Thomas lightweight if it helps

I am not that big

They said they have had problems with sizes

Made by the Chinese who tend to be smaller than we are !

We do Lorch clothes, 5 pocket jeans and bomber style welding jacket or a longer jacket which comes to the knees, all made from the flame retardant material. I'll get some pics and start a thread with sizes and prices if anyone's interested
