BX9C Black W/Red Flames Cotton Welding Jacket - XL

I looked all over including local welding supply stores but couldn't find anything for less than $40 and they were decidedly less fashionable. I'm a tall guy with long arms so other jackets would leave a gap between my gloves and sleeves despite having longer cuffed welding gloves. This jacket had the right dimensions and even fits with a layer or two underneath. The snaps on the sides let me take it in a bit when I'm just wearing a t-shirt underneath. After using it for long hours here in the first couple weeks of having it, It's held up very well. The jacket shipped quickly and was packaged reasonably without a bunch of stuff to cut through or annoying peanuts, etc. I'd recommend this jacket from this seller any day.

Size XL Fitment: 5' 11", 225 lbs, shoulders 52, chest 43 Fits better than the FR model from same manufacturer (FR is a bit looser at waist area might need to order L in that style). Pros Good price point Quality product Adjustable waist Good snaps Looks good Cons Does seem to burn thru fairly easy, for overhead stick welding will not suffice. The FR model seems to be thicker, resist burns better(probably a bit of a subjective of review).

I am a beginner at welding and it seemed like overkill to purchase a specialized jacket. Especially since I am doing the welding at my local Makerspace and will probably only don it a handful of times in a year. I've used it a few times and have changed my mind. No burns and my arms aren't covered with debris after welding and grinding. It helps my confidence and I can concentrate laying down a good bead instead of worrying if I'm going to get burnt. It is a lot thicker than a regular shirt, but not as thick as canvas. I feel hotter when I first put it on, but once I start welding and grinding I don't notice it. My shirt is not soaked when I take it off. It has two snaps at the neck closure and two at the wrist closures. There are also two tabs with snaps on it on the lower back, one on the left and one on the right, to take the material in to bring it closer around the stomach. I normally wear a large shirt but ordered this in XL. That was a good decision. I can cross my arms over my chest and and the sleeves do not ride up. Someone in the shop who wears XL (and sometimes XXL) shirts couldn't get his arms into the jacket (tight across the shoulders.) The care instructions are to wash in cool water with no bleach or softeners and to hang dry away from the sun to protect the flame retardant treatment. It also says to replace after 50 washing. With a $25 purchase price, if I wash it after each use, I can live with 50 cents a use. Not like I am going to wash it each time I weld anyway. I do feel a bit self conscious wearing this (red flames and all) while the more experienced welders are going at it in T-shirts. But I am also a firm believer in protecting myself while working. Bottom line is I am satisfied with my purchase. It keeps me from getting burned, I am not covered with debris after welding, it doesn't make me feel suffocated, and it doesn't restrict my motions. I will definitely purchase this again if this one every wears out.

I am a full time welder in a factory. I mig weld and used to wear a dickies shirt with sleeves. However, dickies shirts do not hold up for more than a month or so. I bought this jacket to help save money and get a better quality product designed specifically for the job. The jacket looks great, fits great and seems to be holding up pretty well. I would recommend that you wear a sleeve on your opposing trigger arm though as sparks will land and make holes over time. I usually wear 1 sleeve on my left arm and that is working well. The collar will take a bit getting used to but is nice for when I need that extra protection, and to avoid a "redneck". If you don't need the collar you can still fold it down. The jacket is a little warm but not near as warm as leather. I will definitely be buying another one of these when this jacket goes. I am not sure if it will last 50 washings but I think I will get a good year out of it. This jacket would last many years for a part time welder though.

I'm 6'1 200lbs and the XL fits perfectly over a shirt and t-shirt. Im sure in the summer that it will be comfortable over just a short sleeve shirt. It wears like a shirt and not a jacket. I use this for wood turning and as a workshop shirt. The collar keeps wood chips out and the outer material sheds dust and chips very well. The snaps are strong and keep closed while lifting or moving equipment, wood or whatever. I'm happy with this item and suggest that depending on your needs you may be too.

This BSX BX9C Cotton Welding Jacket was a really good purchase. I was faced with much overhead wire-feed welding of a 10' x 18' patio awning. This kept the splatters off my body and onto the ground. It took some cosmetic hits, but no burn-throughs. It seems true to size - I usually wear XL. That's what I ordered, and it was nice and roomy. I have no complaints about the snaps, as some have said, but it would be worth the repair if that were necessary. Nice jacket!

I like that it fits loose and doesn’t retain heat in the summer time. Snaps on all the arms and sides so if you like snugger fit the option is there. I don’t really use the pockets at all but I like that collar has a strap to stay closed. The important thing that makes it the best in my opinion is that it’s black. We have all worn the green PPE clothing and it’s so bright you just stare at yourself in your lens all day. I just ordered my 3rd one from Amazon and I wear them everyday for about 8-10 months before they are falling apart.

Thank you

Awesome welding jackets last a long time

Perfect for Tig welding an as for just a shop coat

Size XL, 230lbs, 5’10” fits just right with tee shirt underneath. Tested it out welding for several weekends now before reviewing. I like the neck protection, glad I bought this jacket. Comfortable enough to leave on all day while fabricating metal and not just welding. Also no holes in it yet.
