Another day, another new to me Langlitz Columbia. This CHP pattern is just so comfortable to wear. This one a late '80's Particularly heavy Cowhide 10-pocket with epaulettes on the shoulders. 8.5 lbs of amazing Steerhide/Cowhide. Has had some modifications to the sleeves that I do not think take away from it at all. More details in the Show your Langlitz thread.

8.5 lbs!!! Wow…. Great looking jacket. Langlitz is one that I haven’t had any experience with, but have always liked the way they look. I was at a bike rally and noticed a dude wearing a jacket that caught my eye from about 20 yards away. I walked over to ask him what it was, and he told me it was something I’d probably never heard of, but it was a custom Langlitz he’d had for 20 or so years. The hide was really stunning. It didn’t take too long to convince him that I’d actually heard of them and knew a bit about real jackets. That’s my Langlitz story, haha. Again, that’s a really cool jacket, man!

^^Thank you all for the kind words! While I do seem to have a bit of the aptitude needed to make jackets, the more I get into it, the more I’m humbled and realize I don’t know sh*t about sh*t. If I can figure out how to incorporate it into real life between work and dad duties(wife and I recently adopted a baby girl), I am very interested in making jackets to sell on a small scale in the near ish future!
Amazing! That’s my dream, just to learn the skills make a nice leather jacket.

@MattMorrison81 that Santa Clara looks amazing on you! maybe the finest piece of leather from Rainbow Country(love the contrast stitching on the pockets)!

Same sloppy Aerguitar fit pics, but new test jacket today… new pattern, new hide. Turns out, I love both. I’ll probably play around and have some fun with pocket configurations on this one, as well as different belt options. This hide is not playing around. Somewhere between Schott’s steer and Vanson’s comp weight. It’s 3.5- 4oz chrome tan and I had to do a little skiving to make my machines happy. Definitely a bike leather with this top coat. One day of wear and the grain is starting to pop. Gonna be a long-ish road to break in for this one, but I can’t wait to see what it looks like after some real world wear.
Sell everything. Only wear your own creations

Amazing work as always mate! crazy how good you jackets looks tbh, and like Mr. Bfd70 said, with the quality of your own work I see no reason to ever wear something else tbh(okey maybe for inspiration for making something amazing yourself haha)! :D

So when can we start putting in our orders? ;)

Cheers!

Amazing outfit and picture! love the broad tie + chambray(?) shirt with the jacket, very nice!

Also those shades looks sick!

Cheers
Thank you so much! I finally feel like I nailed the look with this jacket. Higher waisted pants don't always look great on me so it took forever to put something together that all looked right with the cut of the 40s jacket.
