I'm not sure if Simon has them available on the Longevity site but it might be worth sending him a PM.
Here is one that appears to be nice, http://store.cyberweld.com/leatcapsleev.html

You are right Keith, safety equipment is not the place to try and cut corners.

go to a thrift store and buy an old leather jacket for cheap. Tear the linning out of it and you have a welding jacket. It works great!

Your local welding supply place would be a good place tolook, Also Ebay is a good place, its where I bought mine. Even with shipping they were cheaper than the supply house.

hmmm.. even after removing the liner I still can't see through it and my ears get hot.

If you TIG weld, you don't need "Leathers"

personaly i dony usually use leathers for tig welding most of the time. If i need somthing to cover up i just use welding sleves its cheaper not as hot more comfy and just easyier. I use the leather when i have to weld anthing thick like 3/8 or 1/2 aluminum and i have to get inside of the item. I then use just the sleves and chest piece and chaps. Thats all you need unless your doing overhead welding.
