Custom Welder's Arm Guard — Handcrafted Leather Sissy Pad

No two alike. Every arm guard is built from scratch, designed around the person who will wear it.

The welder's arm guard — known in the trade as a sissy pad — protects your forearm from heat, sparks, and slag while you work. This one is built from premium full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, tooled by hand, and finished to last as long as you're behind the torch.

The piece shown features diamond basketweave tooling, a personalized name stamp in bold western lettering, copper hardware, and adjustable buckle straps for a secure fit. The interior is lined with full-grain vegetable-tanned leather for comfort and durability against your skin. Your commission will be built to your specifications — tooling pattern, personalization, hardware finish, and fit.

What's Included

• Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather exterior and interior lining
• Hand-tooled design of your choice
• Personalized name or initials stamp
• Adjustable buckle straps with copper or brass hardware
  

How It Works

After your order is placed, I'll reach out to confirm your tooling preference, name or initials, and any other details. Each piece is built to order with a typical lead time of 6–8 weeks.

"This is not a shelf product. It's a commission — built for you, by hand, one at a time."
