Better Comfort, Smarter Protection: Choosing the Right Golden Chief Garment

Not all welding tasks are the same; with some jobs in need of full upper-body protection, while others call for more airflow, extra front coverage or targeted protection for arms, boots and lower legs.

That’s why the relaunched Elliotts Golden Chief range gives welders multiple ways to protect themselves regardless of the task at hand.

At the centre of the relaunch is the move from pig split leather to soft premium nubuck leather, as Nubuck leather gives Golden Chief a softer, smoother and more premium feel, making the garments more comfortable to wear while maintaining the durable leather protection the range is known for.

The range has also been updated with Proban FR cotton in key areas of the jacket and bolero collars and shoulder lining areas, replacing the previous nylon/polyester lining. Design and closure details have also been revised and redesigned to support certification to EN ISO 11611:2015.

The result? A new and improved Golden Chief range that feels better, looks more modern and gives welders a variety of certified protection options for different jobs.

Choosing The Right Golden Chief Garment

• The Golden Chief Welding Jacket is the best option when full upper-body leather protection is required, as it provides traditional jacket coverage across the front, back, shoulders and arms.

• The Golden Chief Bolero Jacket with Detachable Apron is suited to work where front and arm protection are needed, but full back coverage is not required. Its open-back design helps improve airflow in hotter conditions, while the detachable apron adds front-body protection.

• The Golden Chief Apron provides extra front protection and can be worn on its own for suitable tasks or over other welding apparel when additional front coverage is needed.

• The Golden Chief Sleeves are ideal when arm protection is required without wearing a full jacket, helping the wearer stay cooler while still protecting exposed arms.

• The Golden Chief Spats help protect boots and lower legs from spatter and dross, covering an area that often takes a lot of punishment during welding work.

Together, the updated Golden Chief range gives welders an array of practical options for full welding protection, ensuring safety and quality are paramount. 

For distributors and end users, there’s an option that makes Golden Chief easier to match to the job.
