Hot Pass Caps makes handmade welding caps for the men and women who actually burn rod for a living — sewn by a union family that knows what a long day under the hood feels like.
Each cap is cut and sewn by hand — not mass-produced overseas. When it's made by someone who works the trade, it fits the work.
Skulls, superheroes, your team's colors — the lineup below is straight from the shop. If you've got a pattern in mind, ask.
Steamfitters Local 638 runs in the family. Buying a Hot Pass cap supports a working trade family, not a warehouse.
