K3113-2XL - Lincoln Electric 9 oz. Black FR Cotton Welding Shirt, 2X-Large

Reliable Flame Retardant Protection for Light Duty Applications

The Lincoln Electric K3113-2XL Black FR Welding Shirt is engineered to provide professional welders with a safety solution that balances protection and comfort. Designed specifically for light welding, cutting, and grinding operations, this garment is constructed from high-quality 9 oz. 100% flame retardant (FR) cotton. Unlike standard work shirts, the FR material is treated to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, preventing the fabric from continuing to burn after exposure to sparks or spatter. This capability is critical for meeting safety standards in industrial environments, and this specific garment complies with ASTM D6413 test methods for flame resistance.

Durability is a key factor in the design of the K3113 series. The shirt features Kevlar stitching throughout its construction. Kevlar is renowned for its high tensile strength and thermal stability, ensuring that the seams do not degrade or unravel when exposed to the heat and UV radiation typical of welding processes. This attention to detail extends the service life of the shirt compared to garments stitched with standard polyester or cotton threads. The black body color not only provides a professional appearance but also helps hide grime and soot associated with metalworking environments.

Functionality is enhanced through thoughtful design elements tailored for the tradesman. The shirt includes two large chest pockets equipped with flaps to prevent sparks from entering and settling inside. A dedicated pencil holder slot adds convenience for layout work. The adjustable cuffs allow the wearer to tighten the sleeves around the wrist or over gloves, preventing debris entry and ensuring a snag-free fit. While this shirt provides excellent protection for its class, it is important to note that it is intended for light-duty applications; heavy slag or overhead welding scenarios may require full leather protection.

Maintenance of the K3113-2XL is straightforward, as the fabric is machine washable. It is also treated to be mildew resistant, which is beneficial for gear stored in lockers or damp shop environments. By choosing Lincoln Electric's Red Line™ apparel, users are investing in safety gear backed by a leading manufacturer in the welding industry.
