Don't know but it's supposed to be this one. The site looks dodgy too but apparently, the jackets are very good.

Oh, didn't know that. So I would actually get this jacket? What worries me is that they advertise the jacket from the madmax-jp site but don't actually confirm it's the same maker. But I guess it's got to be...
Yes, you will get same jacket.

What's the story behind Langlitz green label? What makes it special??



Oh, I was waaay off. I recall it being an M but I was clearly wrong. Thanks! That leather was fantastic, though. I wish it'd fit me.

According to the Tanaka book, the Langlitz Green label is the first actual "Langlitz" label.
Before that he used a white "speedway togs" label in 47-48 and then a green "speedway togs" label from 48-49.
He then switched to the green "Langlitz Leathers" and used that label from 50-56, supposedly this is the period during which most of the designs were refined to what they are now.

Speaking of J.C. Penney... Tagged 44, but measurements would make it more like a 40, and some stitching and lining repairs needed, and I gotta say the shipping charge is head-scratching for Parcel Select...BUT, with all that said...the price is only $90, and goodness, this. is. lovely. If it were a bit bigger I'd be buying instead of posting.

What jacket is that actually? Many weird-ish details and label in German.
It looks like an Aero Leather ‘Luftwaffe’ jacket made by Aero Leather. The label has the usual Aero words but translated into German. I believe they made this jacket a few years ago but it’s not on their website at present. It’s the ‘Luftwaffe’ not the ‘Hartmann’ - the latter doesn’t have handwarmer style front pockets. Check out Eastman Leather Clothing for pics of the two styles.
