Welding is one of the toughest and dangerous job out there. One of my dad’s relatives is working at a welding shop. Growing up I always remember going to his shop every time we have vehicle issues. I am not sure if he wears a welding jacket though. For protection purposes, I think it is important for every welders to wear welding jackets. This type of jacket is made of cotton and treated to be flame resistant, anti-static, and mildew resistant.
