Using this Lincoln welding jacket is easy. Just put it on like a regular jacket and adjust the dual snap sleeves to fit your arms comfortably. You can use the inside pocket to store small items like pens or cards. When using, make sure the jacket is fully zipped or buttoned to protect your body from sparks. Avoid wearing it in extremely wet conditions as it may affect the flame - retardant properties. To maintain it, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use. Hang it in a dry place to air out. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on it, as this can damage the cowhide sleeves and the flame - retardant fabric.
