268449003 - Miller Carhartt Traditional Duck Work Jacket, Black, Large

Heavy-Duty Industrial Protection and Warmth

The Miller 268449003 is a premium industrial work jacket resulting from the collaboration between two industry giants: Miller Electric and Carhartt. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of welding environments, construction sites, and heavy industrial applications, this jacket represents the pinnacle of durability and thermal protection. The outer shell is constructed from 12-ounce, 100% ring-spun cotton duck, a material renowned for its resistance to abrasion, tears, and snags. This heavy-weight fabric provides a substantial barrier against the physical hazards common in metalworking shops, while also offering significant wind and water resistance to keep the operator dry and comfortable in adverse weather conditions.

Thermal regulation is a critical component of this garment's design. The interior features a quilted nylon lining backed by arctic-weight polyester insulation. This high-loft insulation traps body heat effectively, making the jacket suitable for outdoor work in freezing temperatures or unheated workshops. Despite its substantial insulation, the jacket is engineered for mobility. It incorporates a pleated bi-swing back, which allows for a full range of arm movement—essential for welders and fabricators who must reach, stretch, and maneuver around large workpieces without restriction. The main seams are triple-stitched, reinforcing stress points to prevent failure during strenuous activity.

Functionality is further enhanced by a thoughtful layout of storage and closure systems. The front closure utilizes a heavy-duty two-way brass zipper, protected by a hook-and-loop storm flap that prevents wind infiltration and protects the zipper mechanism from sparks and debris. The sleeves are equipped with internal rib-knit storm cuffs that fit snugly around the wrist, preventing cold air from traveling up the sleeve and ensuring the cuff does not interfere with gloves. Storage options are plentiful, with two chest pockets featuring flap closures, two spacious lower-front pockets, and two interior pockets for securing sensitive items like schematics or phones. The corduroy-trimmed collar adds a touch of comfort against the neck and includes snaps to accommodate an optional hood.
