You usually buy a regular pancake from the maker, like Sarges or Wendy's Pancakes.
The only one I've ever seen stocked is the yellow ones that are bent into a 90 degree angle. Ram Welding Supply, on the internet, stocks them.

You should be able to order them thru Jackson. Or any distributor of Jackson Welding Products.
If you use them, you should plan on fabricating a leather apron to attach to the front. They really let your neck etc. catch the rays.
When did Jackson start making pancakes?
Over the years I've seen probably 4000 pipeliners working in pancakes and never yet seen a piece of leather attached to one.

I agree with JT when did jackson start making Pancakes? And I also have never seen one with leather. By the way JT I saw some the other day they were labeled Original pancake Brand they weren't the usual sarges brand. Have you heard of them?
Yes, aren't those the yellow ones made of one piece bent to a 90 degree angle? I bought one of those once, didn't like it so I traded it to a guy that was carrying around an unused 20 year old Sarges as a spare!
I have a Wendy's but it's unused and I'll probably trade it off. I know guys that really are happy with Wendys, specially the lightweight white ones (they are made of thinner material).
Those yellow ones are "pancake" brand, but they aren't the original. After WWII George Gilchrist in Rock Springs made what I believe was the first one. He made them up till he died in around the mid 90's. His were engraved on the inside of the front piece with his name and I believe address.
Yeah it has a 90 degree angle on it and it is the most uncomfortable piece of Sh** I ever wore. Where can a guy order a wendy's? I have seen a few around.Also can you fit a cheater or QC in one?
Wendy's is at 877-894-0077
Sarges is at 800-396-4065
Sarges are available in 3 sizes , I've got a small-it will take a cheater/solar powered auto lens/clear. I've also got a meduim and it will take a cheater/battery powered auto/clear lens (just barely, I think they recomend a large for all that). I'm not sure if Wendy's come in different sizes or not. I'm sure they will tell you.
