I'm the same, I always use long sleeves now, even just a good set of cotton overalls does the trick.

One year at work they cheaped out and bought us polyester overalls, 10 minutes with a grinder and they were only good for the bin. Got those changed real quick as they were a potential fire hazard.

I also have a automated welding mask these days :)
