Gave myself a 3rd (and 4th... and 5th) nipple last night..., any recommendations on a welding shirt? Options

Hi All -
I ran out of welding gas last night and did not realize it until about 10 minutes after it happened. I thought I had just hit a bit of dirty metal, as the molten hot lava sparks began burning holes through my jacket (then my shirt… then my t-shirt… ). Is it still cool with the younger generation to have yourself branded? If so, I am marginally “hipper” this morning…. and a pretty darn good dancer too.

Stupid British cars (stooped guy welding...)

So, I was thinking of ordering an actual welding shirt. Lots of them for sale on line, just curious if anyone had any recommendations for what works best.

Thanks!

I like what I call sleeves and a collar. The back is open so you don't fry. Full front and a collar with full sleeves. Fairly light leather and not bad running heavy amps (for my small machines) even in the summer. Most of my T-shirts have 10-20 holes in them (on the front only) because I don't wear it because it's just a small job - just a minute or so.
