About this product
Double-layer cowhide and cotton sleeves, stitched with Kevlar thread.
Split leather over a cotton layer, adjustable velcro to fit any arm and an elastic cuff that holds them in position. The listing gives one size fits most, in yellow.
Welding sleeves in cowhide split leather over a cotton layer, described by the listing as double thick and soft.
Every seam is sewn with Kevlar thread, which is what stops the stitching giving out before the leather does.
Adjustable velcro means one pair fits a range of arm sizes.
An elastic cuff keeps them from sliding down while you work.
The listing gives the size as one size fits most, in yellow.
They protect the forearm and upper arm, which is the part a welding glove leaves bare.
Welding gloves stop at the wrist or a little past it. Sleeves cover the rest of the arm, which is where spatter lands when you are welding overhead or reaching into a job.
These are cowhide split leather over a cotton layer. The listing calls the construction double thick and soft, which is the balance you want: enough leather to take spatter, enough give to work in.
The stitching is Kevlar thread. On any leather item worked hard, the seams fail first, and Kevlar thread is what keeps them together.
Velcro adjustment lets one pair fit different arms, and an elastic cuff stops them creeping down as you move.
One correction to the live listing: it advertises free shipping across Ireland. This is a Irish store and delivery is Ireland-wide. That sentence was another market's copy and it is not carried here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the sleeves made of?
Cowhide split leather over a cotton layer, in a double-layer construction.
Why does Kevlar stitching matter?
On worked leather the seams give out before the hide does. Kevlar thread holds up to heat and abrasion far better than ordinary thread.
What size are they?
One size fits most, adjusted with velcro.
Will they stay up?
An elastic cuff holds the lower end and the velcro sets the upper end, so they stay where you put them.
What colour are they?
Yellow, per the listing.
Do they cover the whole arm?
They cover the forearm and upper arm, which is the section a welding glove leaves bare.
Can I use them for anything besides welding?
Any job where spatter, sparks or heat reach the arm. Grinding, foundry work and stove work all qualify.
Are they fire proof?
No. They are heat resistant leather. Leather resists ignition and sparks, but nothing here is rated fire proof.
Can I wash them?
Do not machine wash them. Brush off cooled spatter and hang them to dry.
Will they stiffen over time?
Leather does with heat and use. Work them with your hands and keep them out of solvents.
Do I still need welding gloves?
Yes. Sleeves cover the arm; gloves cover the hand. They are a pair, not alternatives.
Will they fit over a jacket?
The velcro gives a range of adjustment. Over a heavy jacket, check the fit before you rely on them.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, sleeves are sold as a pair.
Do they meet a Irish standard?
The listing does not claim any certification. If your workplace requires certified protective clothing, contact us and we will ask the manufacturer what documentation exists.
Are they comfortable in summer?
They are leather over cotton, so they are warm. That is the price of spatter protection.
Can I wear them under an apron?
Yes. The leather welding apron on this site covers the torso and the sleeves cover the arms.
Will spatter burn through them?
Cooled spatter brushes off leather. Sustained contact with molten metal will mark any leather; that is normal wear.
Are they suitable for left and right arm?
Yes, they are symmetrical.
What if the velcro stops holding?
Tell us with your order number. Velcro that will not hold on a new pair is a faulty item and we cover the return.
Can I buy several pairs for a workshop?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with your quantity.
Do they smell of leather at first?
New split leather does. It fades with airing.
How long do they last?
Until the leather splits or the seams give out. That depends entirely on how hard you work them.
Is there a warranty?
They carry the statutory rights under Irish consumer law. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
Is tax added at checkout?
No additional sales tax is added at checkout. Prices are in euro.
Do you deliver across Ireland?
Yes, Ireland-wide. The live listing's line about shipping across Ireland was another market's copy and does not apply here.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in Ireland on orders of €100 or more. Under €100 it is a flat €25. Express delivery is €25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
For most online purchases, tell us within 14 days after delivery if you want to cancel, then return the goods within a further 14 days. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under Irish consumer law are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
How do I decide whether this product is suitable for my workplace?
Compare the listed materials, dimensions and features with your risk assessment and workplace requirements. If a particular certification or test report is required, contact us before ordering so current model-specific documentation can be checked.
