Wearing a good welding jacket is important. You want to make sure you're protected while welding, but also comfortable as well. Fortunately, welding jackets can be each to locate. The following steps will help you find a suitable and safe welding jacket.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Visit your local welding supply store. Stores like Maine Oxy-Acetylene Supply Company have everything that a welder could desire or need including welding jackets. Try on as many jackets as you like, and buy the one that fits you best as well as gives you the best range of motion and protection.

  2. Step 2

    See what your local building supply store has to offer. You might be able to find some welding jackets there—though probably not the variety found in a store that's focus is on welding.

  3. Step 3

    Look in the classifieds, or publications like Uncle Henry's for welding jackets. You might get a good deal on a jacket that someone no longer wants. Be sure to ask about the condition of the jacket, because a welding jacket that's burnt full of holes won't offer much protection.

  4. Step 4

    Explore what's online. Internet retailers like the Welding Depot can be a good source of welding jackets. They have a varied selection from which to choose.

  5. Step 5

    Go to eBay. Be sure to ask the seller questions like those mentioned in Step 3 about the welding jacket.
