Basic clothing for welders should offer protection from sparks, heat, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from electric arcs.  Shirts should be made of a tight weave fabric (100% cotton works well) and have long sleeves, pocket flaps, with a collar.  Pants must not have cuffs, holes or frayed edges and should fit so they hang straight down the leg, touching the shoe tops without a crease. (Heavy blue jeans such as wranglers or rustlers, etc. no dress jeans) Never wear polyester or other synthetic fibers.  High top (6" high) leather safety shoes or boots are required.
