The Blåkläder Promise: a lifetime guarantee on seams

You don’t replace workwear because it goes out of fashion. You replace it because it wears out. That’s why the most sustainable garment is often the one you never have to replace.

What that means for you:
Reinforced wear areas can extend a garment’s lifespan by up to 50%.
A longer-lasting garment can cut the resources used in production by around 30%.
Extending a product’s life often does more for the environment than changing the raw materials alone. Triple-reinforced seams remove the weak points where your gear usually gives out first.

Blåkläder backs the stitching with a lifetime guarantee on seams, so you get workwear built to keep up with the job, and less waste along the way.

If you wear the same gloves for TIG, stick and loading the van, one of those jobs is suffering for example these four Weldas gloves, each built for a different job:
SOFTouch 10-1003 for TIG
ThunderingBison 10-2644 for TIG and MIG, in bison leather
COMFOflex 10-2087 for MIG/MAG and stick
STEERSOtuff 10-2700 for the van and yard. It's not a welding glove

1. Waterproof vs water-resistant. Not the same thing.
2. Water-resistant: sheds light rain and spray. Breathable, flexible, good for active work.
3. Waterproof: sealed against sustained rain. Best for long, static days in the open.

1959, Sweden. 1975, Kilkenny. 1984, a garage. One winter kit.
In 1959, Blåkläder started making workwear in Svenljunga, in the heart of Sweden's textile country. It's still family-owned, and it still guarantees its seams for the life of the garment.

In 1975, Eamon Sheehan founded Kilkenny Welding Supplies. Over 50 years later, we are still family-owned and still behind the trade counter in Kilkenny and Portlaoise.

In 1984, a welding engineer started making welding gloves and clothing in his garage, because he believed welders deserved better protection and comfort. That garage became Weldas, which now employs more than 1,200 people and runs its own tannery.

Three businesses that started small and built their names. That's the standard behind our Winter Ready Workwear Collection.

What's left of your trousers by February?

Waterproof. Reinforced. Built for the job.

This winter, don't let the weather decide what you can get done on site. The Blaklader Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket keeps the wet out without trapping you in a layer that doesn't breathe. The Craftsman Trousers bring reinforced knee zones and CORDURA-stretch panels that hold up to daily wear, not just a few weeks of it. And the Elite Safety Boot gives you reinforced zones built for wet, uneven ground — exactly where most winter site injuries happen.

Three pieces, one standard: gear that still performs when conditions turn against you.
