yes, I know there is no point in having a spotless clean welding jacket. But after quite a while it would be nice to reduce the accumulated layers of grime. But is it possible to wash a leather welding jacket without it becoming stiff and uncomfortable afterwards? Are there other ways of cleaning it?

Saddle soap will do a good job cleaning it, but I suggest applying some sort of conditioner afterwards to keep the leather supple. Try going to a tack shop (a place that sells saddles, bridles, and other farm/ranch equipment) they will have saddle soap, and such.

Welding Leathers

Small sparks and incidental spatter won't be a problem for a sturdy cotton shirt, but big droplets might burn through. Cotton works fine if your are welding flat, horizontal. vertical or anything that is on the table, on the ground, or directly in front of you. In other words, where the big droplets will simply fall to the floor. You only need leathers if you are having to reach up above your head while welding. Basically this means pipe welding or overhead welding. In other words, if you expect to have the large droplets falling directly ON you. You can buy leather sleeves and leather shoulders. I've seen welders go shirtless in 100 degree heat with just their leathers on, though I would strongly advise against doing this. You'd get sparks in uncomfortable places, plus you'd get a serious welding burn due to the UV rays from the arc.

you can not wash a lether welding jacket because it would get too hard and uncomfortabal. but you must rub a wet cloth over it to get the dirt off. try not to wet the towel too much.
if you want you can try the car leather seat cream it works too. the third oftion is to send it to the dry cleaning, they will know what to do with it.

Leather has to be cleaned professionally. You can spot wash it with a damp cloth but in the end, it will have to go to the dry cleaners.

Be sure to dry it in the dryer after washing so the fibers don't stiffen up.
