    2007 Langlitz Cascade...

    Was in the Langlitz shop yesterday, getting some minor mods on my flight jacket. Saw one of the seamstress finishing up the white jacket shown above. Very impressive in person!

Looks like vasoline, beeswax, and one or two more things mixed up in a paste that melts when you...
