Are you able to view it through this link at all? https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r1088138517?lang=en&rc=yaucb

I never link Buyee because I always get an error message when I try to access their site so I can't verify whether it works but hopefully that won't be the case for you.

Let me try to help- these typically run a bit smaller than makers like Vanson. I want one too.

i had a size 46 it was large on me

This is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for to “complete” my little collection. Two things keep me away. It’s the wrong size, and it’s been pretty heavily modified. After reading the description the changes were more apparent. Great jacket though.

The leather looks like the HH on my early 60s Cascade, about the nicest HH I've handled. A little rich with the price considering the mods, still make a nice jacket especially for riding

I love this jacket. I missed out on a LL straight zip from the same leather and period. Not my size though, this.

Beauty jacket. Does the price seem a bit steep? I'm not knowledgeable enough to say for certain but I feel it's overpriced for what it is.

QUICK QUESTION: Generally speaking, what sleeve length would a modern leather jacket usually have in a size 42? From 2000 on, off the rack? Appreciate the answer!

A bit steep for me for sure, but Langlitz hold value pretty well. I’d say $500-800 really is the norm. With some outliers on each side of the spread. I did own a 50s Langlitz and the hide was spectacular. Like this jacket. Other Langlitz I have owned had less stellar hide. And then their fit is always a challenge.

25 to 25.5

SJC / Cathcart Grizzly, advertised as a "46", but on communication with the seller (learned to do that the hard way...), I think it's actually a 40-42, as 46" is the chest measurement of the actual jacket itself. On eBay UK for £150 BIN, which is less than half the original retail price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275774461339

Worth considering for anyone who it would fit and who has been looking for one of these. If photos are accurate, it looks as good as new. It'd be mine already if it was only a few sizes bigger, gah....

Langlitz rarely uses HH, and when they do, they ask for a huge upcharge, hence the price. Given the condition and the looks of the jacket, I think the price is fair.

The best (brown) Schott Perfecto that I’ve seen, but yeah, quite pricey

Very cool looking Langlitz. Those burnished edges really make it pop.
But the custom balloon gussets look like it was made for someone who might be thinking of being pregnant, might be pregnant or is pregnant.
Odd!
