Now not so much.....

Thanks and yes, it was painful selling my new 30's half belt in thick steer.- Leather is gorgeous on that- Found a happy home though.

Love that Seinfeld jacket bit !!!!! LOL

thats a really cool fitting, broken in cool fit. made me wonder why people would spend a decade wishing to get the same look while this hide looks great from the start.

I am 1 1/2 hours away from Niagara Falls NY. I cross the border and pick up at my CBI Military Road address.
Wear it home. Zero custom fees, no extra charge for shipping, faster delivery.
Colin - Post those pics when it arrives please. Best fit I have ever had but would have said you were crazy to suggest I would drop $1600 usd on a jacket. But so worth it.

Will do. Mine is $1150 plus shipping but I had no padding or mouton collar added and I omitted the side zips.

Langlitz sent my hide samples out over a month ago and still have not received them due to the postal strike. I am pretty sure I am going with the medium weight black cow hide. This is an everyday jacket and not really a riding jacket so as long as their medium is similar to Vanson's comp weight it will be no problem.

Makes me think of vicenza HH but this is Langlitz medium weight dark brown cowhide. 9 1/2 pounds. A broken in beast.

The medium weight black is chrome tanned and definitely has a top coating making it more water resistant. That said the "colored" leather is much softer but no less thick. I would say that the langlitz colored leather has a much more spongy texture/feel not unlike the heavy weight steer hide I had in black from Aero in the 30's style. There is a big difference.
I honestly would get another Langlitz and would stick to the colored leather for casual use. Of course I can say that because I already have a Langlitz in their regular black medium weight cow hide. Either you go with is actually good for on or off the motorcycle. I have zero doubt the colored leather would protect me in a fall.

Lifetime jacket just like Lost World's or Aero.

You are going to love it.

I own one Langlitz and it's not padded but yours is a fine looking piece. Congrats!

Gnarly!

I like the contrast stitching on the quilting, very nicely done. Do you use this to ride?

 

[JMax]

Great jacket. When I was customizing my Chopper I decided to go with a more subtle contrast stitch on the padding. While I love how it came out, your photos are making me think I could have gone with more contrast. Another type of TFL effect I guess, second-guessing prior decisions.
