"I sometimes wonder if FL is a blessing or a curse to Aero. Without it, new customers would simply order standard models, with maybe an extra pocket added at the most. Now we've come to the point where we're specifying who makes the jacket. It must drive them nuts...
I'll be wearing as just a jacket. I like the button flaps for when I carry though. I've been looking at several vintage jackets as well but really like the heavy HH. I've sorta sworn of ebay but I'm sure there's a lot of good stuff out there. Granted, it will be stiff in the winter but I'm a...
Aero NYPD jacket
I've not seen much discussion about this particular Aero design that I've been contemplating for a while now. I just like the way it looks right out of the box: clean, simple, and tough. My inclination today is to keep it FQHH black. I like the idea of an inch or so added to...
Nice score
High and Dry, looks like you got yourself another one... the last one was black if I recall and very similar. I also put down a deposit back in December also and have yet to pull the trigger. I like the brown for my order too. Probably about time to post some of the black one now...

i've got my deposit in and am waiting till the end of summer for my order.
Yes, Filson rocks
I agree, Filson's the standard in my mind but it's $200 + more than the Johnson. I like the liner Johnson uses too and the fact that it's lined and not scratchy at all. I have a couple of their vests, one with a similar liner and it's really comfortable and durable. I...
Check out Johnson's
These usually run around $200+. Probably a lot higher quality for not too much more and made by a company that's been around for many years.

More Langlitz Japan
Here's a few more. Most of these also off the dealer list linked to from Langlitz Japan. I think the green jacket was on a recent ebay auction and the police jactet pic came off of a vintage clothing website (monster vintage I think).
Langlitz Japan pics
I had some pics is saved from various Langlitz dealer sites in Japan that I thought I'd share. I linked to these off the Langlitz Japan site.
Enjoy!
I'm interested in that goatskin they offer. I/we would be interested in seeing it if you get a chance to post some pics, especially after it wears a bit. I have a sample of their dark brown goat and it's pretty heavy stuff, more black than brown by far. I like it. Dave sent me a big piece so...
Langlitz Horsehide and other options
I’m not sure why the price is so high for the elk and HH leather options. I have the current price list but it does not have elk or HH options listed on it. Maybe his supplier? Black or brown goat is an extra $50. The other custom options are...
About brother Jan Solo
About brother Jan Solo. This gentlemen has a great analytical mind. I have learned an extraordinary amount about Aero construction from his posts. I actually did a search and limited it to his posts and made a file of his comments that correspond to each of his...
I'm fine with doing things by mail with Langlitz but I want to fly in just to use up some flight benefits. As far as Brandon Dunes goes, I might check out their bar. I don't think they'd like me pretending I could play golf while my Wesco's tear up their green! Thanks for the heads up though...
Oh, by the way, if what you're getting off the rack from Wesco is working well for you there is no need to measure for a custom fit, most likely. There are variations in sizing accross the different styles and Pete in the custom fit department can guide you.
