How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

don't tell me now having a red jacket is the requirement to keep TFL membership card like it was with denim jacket

Did someone here just snag that immaculate Star Glove out from under me?!? Lol. Well done, whoever you are.

You know you need one

Just completed this cross zip. Learned some important lesson, but happy with the result. It sure fits good on my girlfriend! Now I need a very small guy to try it on. P2p 21”, shoulder 17.5, sleeve 23, back 22

You did this yourself?! That’s really cool!

It always was! That's how I started!

Red is the colour i wear most day to day, i have a bunch of red shirt and red jumpers, red hoodies but I always thought red leather was a bit much. This one made me want to give it a go...

@Colin G That's a beauty. Congrats! Looking forward to your review and fit pics

 

[regius]

Can’t beat the GW Hercules. I supplied the lining. Horween waxy horse.

 

[Graemsay]

@regius is that a mythical, newly completed Good Wear?

I really need to chase up John, as my order has been lost down the back of the metaphorical filing cabinet for a very, very long time.

 

[Colin G]

How is the fit now?

Close but still a bit big in the chest so I think it has to go back for another alteration. I know I won't be happy with it as is, but the jacket should be darn near perfect when it comes back.

Well I am glad they are working with you. I would love another langlitz, I just think I would need to go to the shop to avoid fit issues again. As I have said over and over I wish they would do it a little different such as posting measurements for stock jackets or send fit jackets, etc. I understand the philosophy and it has been the WAY they do it. But im sure 95 percent of folks could get a stock jacket with a few adjustments. I hope this does not bar you from getting another custom jacket down the road like some on FDL having had a couple remakes. I never had much luck talking to John. None the less I will stop my rant. Love their leather and construction. Guess maybe i am more jealous of others great fit. I am 5 10 170 lbs 40 chest 33x32 jeans pretty average size should be simple To fit me...

Well here is to your great jacket, good luck on the next, and hoping my center zip CHP from Johnson works out! Have a cloth fit jacket coming in a week or so hopefully.

I spoke with Constantine at Vanson the other day and I was pleasantly surprised to find that my jacket is in production. The leather has been cut, next comes the lining, and then finally the construction. This will be a shameless copy of JMax’s octagon Chopper with a couple small tweaks of my own.

I’m one of the exiles you mentioned and I agree with everything you say here. I also think that Langlitz does beautiful work and I’m happy to see that they are working with you to make your jacket perfect Colin, can’t wait to see the finished product!

 

[red devil]

I was lucky to get my first Langlitz directly from the shop, it was a stocck version that fit well.

First because I will be ordering more from them

Sears Herc. Main zip is trashed, liner looks a bit “gamey”. Numbers looked good and I trust the seller. It’ll be headed straight to Dena upon arrival.

How did you tweak it?

whenever I go into “sell” mode with my jackets, my wife says I “can sell them all except this one”. Great jacket! Though of course, she also says all my black ones are the same smh.

What’s the over under on Colin joining the group of banned gents?!? I want in on that action.

I’m leaning towards him ending up on the list after this one. In my case it took two remakes to put me on the “do not fly” list.
Like Psant I did not have a positive experience dealing with John, the GM. I felt like he thought it was his job to strong arm me into sticking with a jacket that did not fit well and he tried to accomplish this by being condescending and pushy. Neither of those tactics work particularly well with me and that is probably why I am a former customer now.
That’s enough of that nonsense though, I am always happy to see when Langlitz gets it right and i’m sure Colin’s will be epic.
