I received my custom jacket from Langlitz Leathers. Unsurprisingly, it is perfect.
On occasion, my work takes me to Portland, so I took an Uber to Langlitz’s shop on a couple of different visits. Their physical catalog is thorough, but I thought it would be nice to try on some actual jackets, compare styles, and get a close look at the various hides. Got myself a manufacturing slot and continued my research. On one visit, I found a pair of Competition Breeches that fit nicely. It’s worth a visit to check out the pre-owned jackets and pants. You might find something special.
A short while before my manufacture date, I went in for a fitting. That’s when I finalized the details of my jacket. They worked on stitching, pocket placement and lining, collar style, snaps, pads and a few other things. This visit was very valuable, but I’m sure some type of Zoom session would work also. These guys really know how to fit a jacket.
A short while later I got my jacket. I was knocked out by the fit, finish, style and quality. The workmanship is gorgeous. I now own a little piece of motorcycle history, a piece I can take riding every day. Hope to put a million miles on this beautiful coat they made for me.
