    Langlitz Cascade Black Cowhide

    Can you tell me if the light weight cow is much different in appearance than the mid weight? I had a sample of the mid weight and didn't think it was attractive, though it seemed great for protection. Your jacket looks fabulous though.

    Aero Leather Jacket

    I never hang my leathers up. I always get the image in my mind of the jacket strecthing though it probably is nothing to worry about. I just toss them somewhere where they lay flat for the summer. Clothes should be able to breath air when in storage, or so my tailor tells me. Plastic wrap...

    New Aero 1930s half belt with modified back in battered tan horsehide

    If the fit jacket was a 36 in the 30's HB, then what size did you do in the Premier fit? Did you size up or down or stay the same? Or am I wrongly assuming that the fit jacket was a standard 30s halfbelt?

    New Aero 1930s half belt with modified back in battered tan horsehide

    The 30's Half belt is the new Highwayman. I have seen so many here lately and they all look great.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    Mike, I respect that you actually went to the store. Still, I can't account for the difference in perception between us. I have seen the Schott horsehide, new and broken in. Flimsy was the last thing I would have thought. Shiny, yes, but so is CXL. I don't know why the sales person steered...

    Share langlitz timberline goat

    The leather looks different thanm the samples I have from Langlitz. It doesn't look like Langlitz goat at all.

    Black Lambskin Motorcycle jacket sugestions?

    I think with your requirements, you might be better off checking out Lucky Brand. I shop there for jeans and shirts and I always notice some leathers on the rack. They are usually in your price range and weight requirements. They even have some Schott made jackets that go on sale for 40% off...

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    Nick123: Langlitz is a whole different category. I have a sample of the cow and it is probably 4 oz or more. And yes, for "pretty", Schott is at the top of the list. The unfinished hide lets the oils show through. CXL is good looking in its own way. Both are worth having.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    I keep hearing this and I am convinced that the people saying it are comparing the Horween CXL to one of Schott's fashion leathers, not the heavy naked cowhide. Aero lists the FQHH as 3 oz. Schott lists the heavy cowhide as 3 oz. I have both and they seem to be the same thickness. Johnson...

    How do you rate that lining for warmth and bulkiness?

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    OK, your point is what? That they don't care? I guess not. They don't care. I don't buy. They aren't taking cutom orders. Again. They weren't a few months back. They always seem to be too busy to take a custom order. I have no idea how they operate, but it would be nice if they set up...

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    Tough to argue with that. Schott lost two sales from me because they can't manage to take an inch or two off their jackets here or there.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    Notice this jackert comes in Medium, Large and Extra Large. No Small size. The clothing industry makes me want to scream sometimes.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    Ton, You made some good points and answered a few questions I had. Though your example used the pebbled cowhide leather used in some Schott jackets. I was really thinking of the leather used in their premium jackets: NAked Cowhide, Steerhide and Horsehide. I don't see any of the premium...

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    I couldn't tell you what makes great leather, but I know great leather when I see it...I think. Could anyone who thinks that the Schott premium leathers, especially the naked cowhide, is not top notch, please explain why? I don't know all that much about grading leather, but that one seems to...

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    While I feel for you taller guys, keep in mind that schott does offer tall sizes in many models. They don't offer short sizes at all, as far as I know.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    I am not crazy about the Schott or the Thedi. I thought the Schott was interesting because of the slim fit, which seems even slimmer than the 689 and others in its series. This Cafecto is a bit too Perfecto and not enough Csfe for my taste. I don't get the dislike some people have for...

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    I did a search and got no results for this forum so it seems to be a very new item. A cross between the Perfecto and the Cafe Racer in a slim "Japanese" fit. I like it. It seems the slimmest Schott I have ever seen. Anyone tried one on...

    New Aero 30s halfbelt from Thurston

    As long as you are happy with the fit jacket, it is worth keeping it. You avoid the stress and worry of the two month wait.
