I bought my first Langlitz in 1972. Gave it to my son in 2001 and it’s still in use. Bought one for my Fearless Wife in 73 and she still has it and can still wear it. Apparently, hers didn’t shink like mine did! I cleaned all the jackets today (Four live here) and used Langlitz Leather Dressing on them and hers was still looking great as were mine. My newest is a 2000 flight jacket in goatskin. My Columbia was bought in 86 and sees regular use. I knew Ross from the days of dropping in as a young kid who couldn’t afford the jackets but loved the quality. One summer left me with enough disposable funds to finally buy that first Columbia that my son now owns. I’m older and don’t ride as much as I used to but when I do and the Langlitz goes on, the smell and feel reminds me of every great mile I’ve ridden.
