In 2013 i ordered a Custom Columbia based on my individual measurements. It has a straight zipper, dress collar, 7 pockets, elbow and shoulder padding and is made from heavy cowhide in color bone. From out of the box it fitted perfectly. The leather is heavy but soft and the whole jacket is of absolutely outstanding quality.
While additionally owning several leather jackets from Vanson, Aero, Schott and HD my LL Columbia is my favourite jacket. Especially the light bone color of the leather develops an outstanding patina.

Last year i visited the Langlitz shop in Portland while travelling USA-West. Good and friendly atmosphere and a staff which is dedicated to the customer. I decided to buy a custom made white cowhide vest with orange stitching and measurements were taken. When the vest arrived in Germany, i surprisingly had to recognize that it was too small around the belly for a comfortable, good looking fit. I discussed the issue with Langlitz via e-mail, sent the vest back and got it re-done without any problems. The second version was perfect. Over all it was an excellent customer-service due to the LL-Customer-Satisfaction-Guarantee.

Last but not least i bought a used Cascade in black cowhide and pristine condition recently at Ebay. The lining of the inner pocket only provided the size and a serial number. I asked Langlitz for some further Information and got immediately response about the production date for this shop inventory jacket. Great service too.
