About us
Made by a welder, for welders
Our founder, Mac Schurr, started welding at 18 and went on to open his own welding company. In a decade on the job, his work clothes kept wearing out in the same spots, and no amount of layering gave him the protection he needed. So he built gear made for welders.
Since our first sale in February 2015, Up In Smoke has been worn by welders around the world. Every piece is crafted with local experts and tested in real-world conditions, using materials sourced from North America.
- Safety is our priority
- Designed for welders & tradesmen

Google review
“I’ve been purchasing welding apparel for the last two years from Mac and his company Up In Smoke Welding. By far this is the best FR you can buy. I’ve bought lots of other brands and once I made my first purchase from Up In Smoke I’ve never turned back.”

“Up in Smoke... love the gear. Mac is a solid dude as well. The first piece I bought was a non FR thorax. I ran it for about 4 years. Torching, carbon arcing, dual shield welding, stick welding, lancing. And the thing held up phenomenally.”
★★★★★
FR Thorax Hoodie
“Have 3 different colours of this hoodie, I won’t weld without it! It allows me to do my job safely and efficiently without getting a burn for months. Unreal product, you will not be disappointed.”
