Split Cowhide Leather Welding Cape Sleeve – Kevlar Stitched
The leather welding cape sleeve provides coverage across the shoulders, arms, upper chest and upper back during welding and fabrication. Made from specially tanned split cowhide leather with Kevlar stitching, it combines sleeve coverage with an open lower-torso design. Choose it when the job’s exposure assessment supports a cape sleeve with additional protection for uncovered areas.

Coverage, Sizing and Bib Selection
A welding cape sleeve leaves the lower torso uncovered. A compatible leather bib can extend front coverage, but it is sold separately. Check the attachment arrangement before ordering a bib; compatibility should not be assumed from material or appearance alone.
Select L, XL or 2XL with room for the clothing worn underneath. Check sleeve position while reaching, bending and holding tools. Close the collar and wrist adjustments as directed, and arrange gloves and other garments to avoid openings where sparks or spatter could enter.
For a garment that also covers the torso, review our leather welding jacket. Choose coverage based on the direction and extent of the exposure, rather than the welding process name alone.
Applicable Welding Safety Requirements
OSHA 1910.252(b)(3) requires protective clothing appropriate to the size, nature and location of welding work. OSHA 1910.132 covers PPE selection, fit, condition and training. These workplace requirements do not certify this cape sleeve.
No arc rating, temperature limit or EN ISO 11611 classification is provided for this listing. Leather construction and Kevlar stitching alone do not establish those ratings. Inspect the leather, seams and fasteners before use, follow the supplied care instructions and replace damaged clothing.
FAQ
Does the cape sleeve include a welding bib?
No. A compatible leather welding bib is sold separately.
Does it provide the same coverage as a full jacket?
No. It covers the shoulders, arms, upper chest and upper back, leaving the lower torso open.
Is this an arc-flash-rated garment?
No verified arc rating is listed for S3222. Use documented arc-rated clothing when the electrical hazard assessment requires it.
