Langlitz Leathers Death's Head Cascade

[red devil]

This is a jacket that I liked from the first time I had seen, after hearing about the issues surrounding getting a good fit, and the fact that you were supposed to have a very athletic build to pull it off, I thought it was one of those that would not work for me.

Then I tried a stock size 46 in goat hide and...

The idea is to use it for a while to see how the fold will end up when it is half-zipped, and then add a snap in the relevant place

I really like the brass hardware for this jacket

While the stitching is not as dense as some other makers, it is very clean

This gusset is one factor in the amazing range of motion of this jacket

This back strikes a really good balance between aesthetics and functionality

So this is it, my first Langlitz! I was curious as to what fuss was about this maker at first. Then I saw @sweetfights get an amazing fit with his, which was when I decided I would get one. Can't say I was quick on that one, but I finally got a Langlitz!

This jacket is very confortable, as @Carlos840 mentionned, the range of motion is impressive. Haven't tried riding with it yet, but I have no doubt that it will be up to the task. It is clear, that this jacket is the fruit of years of experience in adapting patterns.

Will it be the last one? No, I already have plans for another one, but will take my time to think it through as I enjoy this one!

Edit: Forgot to mention the weight 2.05kg / 4.53lbs

Now that's a MAN'S jacket!! So awesome. Great pickup and looks like the fit is great.

Really good looking jacket and fits and suits you perfectly!

This is literally exactly what i plan on ordering the day i visit the Langlitz shop.
Really nice jacket, great fit. I really want to handle it to see what their goat is like...

Certainly can't disagree!

You could mistake it for cowhide from far, it is very smooth and pliable, not heavy but still substantial enough, it is very different from the Thedi goat on the grizzly.

This jacket really reminds me of a knights armor. I don’t think I could pull it off but it is incredibly cool. You need to carry a lance and helmet with that sucker. Looks great RD and a perfect compliment to your very impressive and diverse collection!

You of all people would look great in this, you make almost any jacket look amazing. I would certainly love see you wearing this one

Did you have to try it on in person at the shop? I have had some fit issues with their custom jackets. Wish they could just ship me a stock jacket and go from there ...

Yep tried it there, it is the kind of place that is really worthwhile to visit at least once

I was planning to visit their store next month. Coolest Langlitz ever!

Highly worth the visit, I will be back there again hopefully next year

Quite a stunning design, and the brass hardware really does top it off nicely. And that being a stock jacket, with a fit like that . . . it was just waiting for you man.

 

[navetsea]

Wow, congrats RD
wearing it fully done up, looks the best on your picture there. Maybe once it really really soft you can wear it totally unzipped, curious to see how the triangular bottom on the right will drape.

Did you purchase new stock size from Langlitz?

unfortunately the US-Canada Board is closed hours ago. I guess I have to visit them after summer.

Awesome jacket! Would have liked to see one of these and a Red Dog when I visited Langlitz years ago. They didn't have either on thre rack so I guess it was fated for you.

Yeah, it was just there and fit me

They had a red dog as well this time, only in a smaller size, it was the other jacket I had in mind

 

[El Marro]

That jacket looks good on you red devil!
I was never wild about that one when I saw pictures on the web or on the Japanese Langlitz site, it always seemed a little busy to me. Seeing it on you though has changed my mind, it doesn’t seem at all flashy or over the top. A nice solid motorcycle jacket for sure.

 

[So33]

I'd have one of these, if I didn't already have a dozen or more black leather motorcycle jackets.
