About this product
A thick split cowhide apron with a cross-back strap and six pockets.
Kevlar thread stitching throughout, a cross-back design that keeps the weight off your neck, and six pockets including one for a phone and one for a pencil. Brown, hand wash only.
A welding apron in thick split cowhide, which is the material that takes sparks, spatter and radiant heat without giving way.
The straps cross at the back rather than hanging from the neck, so the weight sits on your shoulders instead of pulling on your neck all day.
Every seam is sewn with heat-resistant Kevlar thread.
Six pockets, including one sized for a phone and one for a pencil.
Colour is brown, and the listing states hand wash only.
Package dimensions on the listing are 33 cm by 31 cm by 2 cm, and the weight is 1 kg.
A welding apron is the difference between a shirt that lasts a year and a shirt that lasts a week. Leather takes sparks, spatter and radiant heat, and the thickness of the hide is what decides how much heat it takes before you feel it.
This one is thick split cowhide with a cross-back strap design. That detail is worth more than it sounds: a neck-loop apron puts the whole weight on your neck, and a cross-back apron spreads it across both shoulders. Over a long shift you notice.
The stitching is Kevlar thread, which is heat resistant and much stronger than ordinary thread. Seams are the first thing to fail on any leather item worked hard.
There are six pockets. The listing calls out a cell phone pocket and a pencil pocket among them, which is a sensible touch on an apron you wear all day.
Hand wash only, per the listing. Brush the spatter off once it has cooled and wipe the leather down. Do not put it through a machine.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What leather is it?
Thick split cowhide, per the listing.
Why cross-back straps?
They put the weight on your shoulders instead of hanging it off your neck. Over a full shift that is the difference between comfortable and sore.
How many pockets does it have?
Six, including a phone pocket and a pencil pocket.
What size is it?
The listing gives package dimensions of 33 cm by 31 cm by 2 cm and a weight of 1 kg, but does not publish the worn length or width. Ask us before ordering if coverage matters and we will confirm with the supplier.
Can I adjust the fit?
The listing describes adjustable straps or buckles for fitting to your body size.
Is it fire proof?
No. It is heat and spark resistant leather. Nothing here is rated fire proof.
Can I wash it?
Hand wash only. Brush off cooled spatter, wipe with a damp cloth, hang to dry.
Will it stiffen up?
Leather does with heat and time. Keep it out of direct heat when drying and it stays supple longer.
Does it cover my legs?
The listing describes coverage of the torso and legs. The exact length is not published, so ask us if it matters.
What colour is it?
Brown.
Can I use it for blacksmithing?
Yes. The same properties apply: sparks, spatter and radiant heat.
Can I use it for grinding?
Yes, and it is a common use for a leather apron.
Do I still need sleeves?
An apron covers the torso. If you weld overhead or reach into a job, the welding sleeves on this site cover the arms.
Will the pockets catch sparks?
Any open pocket can. Empty them before overhead work.
Is the leather thick enough for heavy welding?
The listing describes it as thick split cowhide and notes that the thickness and quality of the leather determine the heat resistance. For heavy or sustained work, ask us for the exact thickness before you order.
Does it meet an Australian standard?
The listing does not claim a certification. Contact us if your workplace requires certified protective clothing.
Will it fit a larger person?
The straps adjust. The listing does not publish a size range, so tell us your measurements if you are unsure and we will check.
Can women wear it?
Yes. It is a strap-adjusted apron with no gendered sizing.
How do I store it?
Hang it. Folding leather puts permanent creases in it.
What if the stitching fails?
Tell us with your order number. Stitching that gives out on a new apron is a faulty item and we cover the return.
Does it smell of leather when new?
Split leather does. It fades with airing.
How long does it last?
Until the leather splits or the seams give out, and both are visible.
Can I buy several for a workshop?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with your quantity.
Is there a warranty?
It carries the consumer guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
Does the price include GST?
Yes, prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in Australia 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.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this site is in Australian dollars and includes GST.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase. The item needs to be in its original packaging and you need your receipt or order confirmation. 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 the Australian 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.
