We recently got to go Wesco to help celebrate their 100^th anniversary. It’s very inspiring to see the true craftsmanship and details that goes into every boot. The company was founded in 1918 by John Henry Shoemaker and still going strong today. We took a tour through their two-story factory where about 27 employees work together in putting out some of the best boots around. There are certain stages in the shoe making process where a boot will sit for three days while the leather is shaping and forming. Try to find that kind of dedication in a modern boot makers process.

Langlitz Leathers has been a Wesco boot dealer since 1983, when Langlitz Leathers wanted a good riding boot for our customers. We quickly found the engineering boot and we have put lots of people in Wesco’s over the years. It’s been a great relationship ever since.

We wanted to say congratulations the whole crew at Wesco – well done!

Amplifying our Oregon Spirit

Many of you are from Portland, Oregon. We are always thrilled to meet with our locals! Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that don’t get to experience our Langlitz Leathers shop in person. We want to take that experience, that feeling, and try to share it with everyone. Our products and customer service reflect that.

A large part of the Langlitz mission is to proudly uphold the Made in USA mark. We strive to get our materials in the United States, and make most of our products right here in our Portland store. We also find a lot of joy working with other local companies to provide things we can’t feasibly do in house. This allows us to give our customers the quality they deserve, whether its a Langlitz Jacket or a t-shirt. In talking about the new website/blog today, I want to give a huge thanks to Upswept Creative. They are a local Portland company that we’ve had the pleasure of working with to bring you this updated website. A quality company with excellent customer service, Upswept Creative certainly reinforces our love of local.

Here is our official welcome to the website and the blog. As always, don’t hesitate to contact us with any comments or questions. We love hearing from you.
See you next time!
