Welding clothes are an essential part to any welding operation. As with any industrial operation that involves metalworking, safety is always a top priority. Buying proper welding clothes to protect yourself or your employees is the first step to a safe operation.

Welding protective clothing may be made from a variety of materials, from the standard leather to synthetic cloth featuring an extremely high melting temperature. Synthetic welding clothing may be more expensive, but it's also lighter than leather while maintaining the same protective qualities. When searching for welding clothing suppliers, here are some things to look for:
  1. For bulk purchases at a cheaper price, find an online wholesaler of welder clothing for everything from welding shirts and welding pants to welding caps and blankets.
  2. Compare welding protective clothing by looking at multiple online catalogs detailing the specifications of products from different vendors.
  3. If you want to create your own welder clothing or blankets from raw fabric, find a supplier of welding gear that sells unmanufactured textiles.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Browse online catalogs for welding clothing products


For easy comparison of multiple welding goods, check out a catalog that lists numerous products at once. Search for the materials you need and compare prices and quality with other online catalogs.

I recommend: Grainger sells a full line of wholesale welding clothing. See their selection of welding shirts, caps, aprons and jackets. WeldingDepot also sells a variety of welding helmets, gloves and aprons.

Buy all your welding safety clothing and welding products from a single vendor


Make shopping for welding products easier by finding a welding clothing supplier that sells every product that keeps your operation safe.

I recommend: Safety Supply America sells a variety of welding protective clothing, as well as clothing accessories to stay safe while welding. See their clothing selection of caps, helmet bibs and rod pouches, as well as their blankets, curtains and goggles to protect your employees' bodies as well as their workspaces.

Find fabric from welding clothing suppliers


Look to welding suppliers for fire-resistant fabric if you want to fashion your own welding work clothing or other welding safety material. In addition to finished clothing products, many suppliers offer the fabric that their products are made of.

I recommend: Armil CFS sells Refrasil Silica Cloth, a utility cloth useful for welding operations. They also sell blankets made from Refrasil material. Industrial Energy Products sells a number of fire protective products for use in welding and also offer custom fabrication services to help you create any sort of welder clothing you need that is not offered for sale.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • When searching for welding clothing and accessories, look for products that protect the worker from UV rays as well as flames and heat.
  • Protect every part of your body when welding. Buy welding pants and shoes as well as the jackets and aprons that protect the more part of the body more directly in danger from heat and flames.
