273217 - Miller 3XL Split Pigskin Welding Coat with Kevlar Stitching

Premium Industrial Protection

The Miller 273217 Split Pigskin Leather Welding Jacket is a high-performance protective garment designed for professional industrial applications. Engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy welding and fabrication environments, this jacket is constructed from premium split pigskin leather. Unlike standard cowhide, pigskin offers superior resistance to oil and moisture and maintains its pliability over time, ensuring long-term durability without becoming stiff or uncomfortable. The jacket is tailored in a Size 3XL to accommodate larger frames while maintaining a fit that facilitates active work.

Structural Integrity and Design

Durability is a core component of the 273217 model. The entire garment is sewn using Kevlar® thread, a material renowned for its high tensile strength and heat resistance. This ensures that seams remain intact even when exposed to sparks, spatter, and high temperatures. The design incorporates an extra-high, lined welder's collar to protect the neck area from arc burns and debris, as well as an extended rear tail that provides additional coverage for the lower back when bending or crouching. The charcoal color hides grime and soot, maintaining a professional appearance in dirty shop environments.

Ergonomics and Utility

Recognizing the need for movement in welding tasks, Miller has integrated expandable leather sections strategically within the shoulder area. This feature allows for a greater range of motion, reducing fatigue during overhead or positional welding. To address thermal management, the jacket features a mesh lining that promotes airflow and breathability, preventing the wearer from overheating. Utility is also considered, with a secure inside pocket for personal items and dedicated pockets on each sleeve for essential tools like soapstone markers and scribes.
