OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric K2987-L Shadow Grain Leather Sleeve Welding Jacket - Large

The Lincoln Electric K2987-L Shadow Grain Leather Sleeve Welding Jacket is a premium safety garment designed for professional welders who require a balance of durability and comfort. This jacket is engineered with a hybrid construction that strategically places materials to maximize performance. The sleeves are crafted from durable split cowhide leather, providing robust protection against the high heat, sparks, and spatter typically associated with MIG and Stick welding. This ensures that the areas most exposed to the welding arc are fully shielded against burns and abrasion.

The body of the jacket is constructed from 100% Flame Retardant (FR) cotton. This material choice significantly reduces the weight of the garment compared to full-leather alternatives, promoting better airflow and reducing heat stress during extended periods of use. The chest area remains protected from radiant heat and minor sparks while allowing the wearer to remain cooler in warm shop environments. The jacket features a stylish black design with red shadow accents, aligning with Lincoln Electric's professional aesthetic.

Functionality is a key component of the K2987-L design. It includes a unique spatter guard lining positioned behind the front snap closures, effectively sealing the front of the jacket against spark intrusion. The flip-up collar is equipped with a Hook and Loop closure, allowing the welder to secure the collar around the neck for protection against arc rays and flying debris. Additionally, two large horizontal pockets with Hook and Loop flaps provide secure storage for essential items such as soapstone, markers, or small tools, keeping them protected from the welding environment. This jacket is an essential addition to any personal protective equipment (PPE) inventory.

FAQ

The K2987-L is a size Large. Lincoln Electric typically sizes these to fit chest measurements appropriate for a standard Large adult fit.

This hybrid jacket features split cowhide leather sleeves for high durability and a flame-retardant (FR) 100% cotton body for breathability.

While the leather sleeves provide excellent protection for overhead work, the cotton body offers less protection against heavy molten slag than a full leather jacket. It is best suited for flat, horizontal, and vertical positions, or applications where the body is not directly under the weld pool.

Because of the leather sleeves, this jacket should not be machine washed. The leather can stiffen or crack if soaked. Spot clean the leather and cotton with a damp cloth or use specialized leather cleaning products.

Yes, it features two large outside pockets with Hook and Loop flaps to keep debris out and secure your items.

The flip-up collar with Hook and Loop closure protects the welder's neck from UV radiation (arc burn) and prevents sparks from going down the shirt collar.

Yes, the leather sleeves make it suitable for Stick welding where spatter is common, though it is marketed heavily for MIG and TIG due to the comfort of the cotton body.
