OVERVIEW

Essential Protection and Comfort for Welders

The Miller Electric 280341002 Denim Welding Shirt is engineered to meet the specific needs of professional welders and metalworkers. While heavy leather jackets are necessary for overhead and high-amperage welding, they can be excessive and uncomfortable for lighter tasks. This denim shirt bridges the gap, offering a lightweight yet protective alternative for TIG welding, light MIG applications, and general shop preparation. Made from 100% cotton, it is naturally resistant to melting, a critical safety feature compared to synthetic fabrics like polyester which can fuse to the skin when exposed to sparks or high heat.

Welding exposes operators to intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause "welder's flash" or skin burns similar to severe sunburn. The tight weave of this denim fabric provides a reliable barrier against these harmful rays, ensuring your torso and arms remain protected during arc time. The long sleeves are designed to provide full coverage, and the cuffs can be secured to prevent sparks from entering. The shirt's Ink Blue color minimizes light reflection, reducing glare that could distract you or others in the vicinity.

Comfort is paramount when precision is required. The breathable nature of the cotton fabric helps regulate body temperature under the welding hood, reducing fatigue and improving focus. The shirt is tailored to allow for the full range of motion required for manipulating torches and stingers. It serves as an excellent primary layer for light duty work or as a comfortable under-layer beneath heavier leathers during flux-cored or stick welding. With Miller's reputation for quality, this shirt is a dependable addition to any welder's personal protective equipment (PPE) arsenal.

FAQ

This is a 100% cotton denim shirt. While cotton is naturally resistant to melting and offers better protection against sparks than synthetics, this specific 'Value' shirt is generally not chemically treated to be NFPA 2112 or 70E compliant unless explicitly stated on the tag. It is suitable for light welding protection.

This SKU (280341002) corresponds to a Size Medium (M).

The denim is pre-shrunk, so significant shrinkage should not occur if washed according to the care instructions, though minor settling of cotton fibers is normal.

Yes, this shirt is an excellent choice for TIG welding as it protects against UV radiation and minor sparks without the bulk and heat of a leather jacket.

The shirt is made from 100% cotton denim.

Yes, this shirt typically features chest pockets for storing small items like pens or welding markers.

For overhead welding, it is highly recommended to wear full leather protection or a heavy-duty FR jacket over this shirt, as denim alone may not prevent burns from falling molten slag.

Dark colors like Ink Blue do not reflect arc light as much as lighter colors, reducing glare for the welder and those nearby. It also hides grime well.
