OVERVIEW

Miller Grain Pigskin Cape Sleeve – XL

The Miller 285804 Grain Pigskin Cape Sleeve (Size XL) is a premium protective garment designed for professional welders who demand both safety and comfort. Unlike traditional cowhide, grain pigskin offers exceptional resistance to oil and water while maintaining a lighter weight and greater breathability. This makes it an excellent choice for welders working in oily environments or hot shops where heavy leather can become burdensome.

This cape sleeve covers the most critical areas exposed to spatter and heat—the arms, shoulders, and upper chest—while leaving the back open to promote airflow and reduce heat stress. The leather is pliable yet tough, allowing for a full range of motion during intricate welding tasks. Reinforced with high-strength Kevlar thread, every seam is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use without unraveling under thermal stress.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Miller's detachable bibs (available separately), this unit allows you to customize your coverage based on the job at hand. Whether you are stick welding overhead or performing MIG fabrication at a bench, the Miller Pigskin Cape Sleeve provides the reliable barrier you need against sparks and UV radiation.

FAQ

Pigskin is generally more breathable and stays softer after getting wet or oily compared to cowhide, which can stiffen. It offers excellent durability and abrasion resistance.

No, the Miller 285804 is the cape sleeve portion only. The detachable bib is typically sold separately.

Size XL is generally designed for chest sizes around 46-48 inches. Since it is worn over clothing, ensure you account for the layers you typically wear while welding.

Leather welding gear should not be machine washed. Clean with a soft brush or specialized leather cleaner to maintain the material's integrity.

Yes, the Miller 285804 is sewn with 100% Kevlar thread, which is highly resistant to heat and will not melt or burn under normal welding conditions.

This pigskin cape sleeve is suitable for MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, providing moderate to heavy protection against sparks and spatter.

The open back is designed to keep the welder cool. It is safe for applications where the back is not exposed to sparks, but a full jacket is recommended for overhead welding where debris might fall behind you.
