    New Aero Leather Windward - what do you guys think about the fit?

    I also agree that the body is too short. For me, I like the jacket to cover the belt.

    My vintage leather jacket and I are reunited after 14 years apart!!

    Great story Navin! I would restore the jacket, but hold off on the dying. Try some nice leather cleaner/conditioner (Pecards, etc) and see how it does. If you still don't like it, you can re-dye it later! Steve

    Customer experiences with Aero Leather

    Wow, that is frustrating. After 3 months of waiting, I bailed on my Highwayman and got a jacket from Langlitz. I really don't mind waiting, but I like a definite time frame. Although Mark is great, I don't think that he has any idea of when the actual delivery time will be. Too bad, since I...

    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    I disagree that black leather went out of fashion in the eighties! To me, black leather is a classic look. Black cars are not tough sells. Black is almost consistently in the top 3 of colors sold. Last year it was number two behind white.

    Aero leather jacket, not sure how to measure myself

    This is from Mark Moye's ebay listings: Using a simple cloth tape measure (bought most anywhere for about a dollar) and doing it yourself usually works best for us. Wearing a normal shirt, take your measurements under armpits, around fullest part of chest and shoulder blades. For us to...

    Langlitz Cascade

    The Cascade is 900 (no sales tax and includes shipping), so about 100 more than the Aero. Yes, FQHH is unique, so you have to factor that in, but the Langlitz cowhide is so nice. The coat is made from one hide and builds so much character over time. In terms of the lining, I went with their...

    Langlitz Cascade

    Navin, I had no problems cancelling my order. Although, I ordered back in dec before the price hike, so maybe that had something to do with it.

    Langlitz Cascade

    Yes, looking at the website or catalog (Peacoat, the catalog is still very minimal), you would think that they do only a few styles of jackets. I emailed them a picture of the Highwayman and asked if they could do a jacket that was similar in style. They replied that it would be no problem as...

    Langlitz Cascade

    You can get horsehide with Langlitz, but I think it's about a thousand dollar option! Not sure exactly why. This brown and black have no upcharge. They do have a big selection of colors, but it costs a extra hundred. In terms of fit, both my jackets were exactly on. My Aero fits well, but...

    Langlitz Cascade

    I originally had an Aero Highwayman on order, but I could never get an answer on when the jacket would be ready. I remember reading that some people had waited 6 months for theirs and I didn't want to wait till the fall to get my jacket! I talked to the guys at Langlitz and gave them a...

    Leather coat storage

    Now that Spring is on the way, I was wondering how you guys store your leather coats. Do you keep them hung? It would seem that hanging them for such a prolonged time might affect the shoulders. I remember reading that Peacoat just piles them on the floor in the closet. Thanks

    Opinion on Motorcycle Jacket Padding?

    South, I ordered a Cascade with a straight zip, no zippers on cuffs, no zippers on pockets, straight back, no wind flap, no action back, dress collar (no lapels), a 1 inch band around the waist, and in brown. Supposed to be done by the 24th, but Scott said they were sewing it last week, so I...

    Opinion on Motorcycle Jacket Padding?

    South, Give Scott at Langlitz a call or email. They pretty much can do anything you want. I just ordered a Cascade, but have it looking a lot like the Highwayman. Also, they keep your measurements, so it should be super easy for you to order again.

    Opinion on Motorcycle Jacket Padding?

    I've seen some padded Langlitz and they are less boxy than some. http://www.motorcycle.com/events/mo-on-tour-okanogan-co-part-three-3593.html Saying that, if the jacket isn't for riding, than I would opt out of the padding.

    J. Crew's take on a vintage style...

    Just wondering the reasoning behind the short flap. It would seem to me that the use of a wind flap is more important up higher. Maybe just to make it less restrictive?

    J. Crew's take on a vintage style...

    Wow, for 800 bucks, I think you could do better [huh]. Aero for 800 and Langlitz for 900- probably around the same price after sales tax included. On a side note, why is the wind flap only to chest height? Just saw that you paid significantly less for the jacket. Cheers!

    My Vanson Comet in brown horsehide

    Great jacket! I agree that 2 inches more in sleeves and body would be perfect.

    Cockpit USA A-2 HH

    Captain, The coat looks great! A much better fit than the US-A that you had previously.

    Looking for my dream M/C jacket

    I just ordered another jacket from Langlitz and they were more than happy to work with me. Ended up with a "Cascade", but with quite a few changes. I know you want HH, but their cowhide is outstanding. Also, the fit is like a glove.
