Using this Lincoln welding jacket K2987 is easy. Just put it on like a regular jacket and fasten the snaps and Velcro closures. When welding, the flip - up collar can be raised for added protection. Keep your tools and small items in the large outside pockets. Remember, always check the jacket for any signs of wear and tear before use. If there are any holes or damages, don't use it as it may reduce protection. To maintain it, clean the jacket with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the leather and FR material. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
