I bought this coat 2 years ago and wore it maybe 10 times. Excellent condition. The leather is a very soft leather and has a light quilted liner. The size is listed as a 42 R. Bought new for around 800 (?) and looking to sell for 300 plus 20 for shipping.
If you want it before...
I got my Aero B-6 today. I bought it via Mark Moye and I can't say enough about what a stand up guy he is. I originally was set to buy a Cheyenne, but once the colder weather hit, I got the itch for something warmer. My Cheyenne had been on order for two months when I called Mark and asked him...
I got the Bickmore 4 and the Bickmore guard more. I did ask Amanda at Aero and she recommended the Leatherique, but I assume it's similar stuff.
Some guys here suggested that any type of conditioner was a waste, since the shearling is coated with a plastic acrylic. Who knows, but I figure the...
Wow, you guys must have forgiving wives! My wife would clock me if I had a brown Veste and I got a cordovan one!
Hey, whatever makes you happy! Personally, I think I would get another jacket style.
Personally, I love black leather jackets :)
More than the color, I think you should look at the style of the jackets. A brown HWYman and a cordovan Veste would be vastly different. However, a brown Cheyenne and a cordovan Veste would look very similar.
What is your other coat?

Also, pretty easy to return if it doesn't fit.
I've asked about shearling coats too, but never got a lot of replies.
I have on order a B-6 from aero and I've added 2 inches to the body length. I believe that it is similar in length to an A2, which is why I added the length. When it comes, I'll post some pics, so that you can see the...
I wear an ibex light wool coat http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product/1342/3336/mens-vertigo-jacket.
It's a very nice wool and works as a great light jacket alone. It's pretty pricey now, but you can usually get it 30-40% off during their sale at the end of winter.
Wow, beautiful jacket! I have a B-6 on order from Aero and I hope that mine turns out as nice as yours!
BTW, I noticed that you have a lot of shearlings. Any concerns about wearing shearling in the rain? Also do you ever condition your shearlings?
Congrats again.
True, the Langlitz was toward the 1 K range. The reason I took the plunge is that I always loved their jackets, but I could never afford them until now. When I was riding during/after college, I always had the cheap 100 dollar, made in Pakistan jackets! The only downside now is that with two...
I think you are right, but comparing my jacket to my friend's Aero Highwayman, they seem to be about the same weight/type of leather.
Call the guys at Langlitz and see what they say. IMHO, the mid-weight is very heavy leather. The heavy weight leather would be like a suit of armor!
I didn't request anything special on the sleeve length, they just altered it according to my measurements. I believe that the back is 3 inches below the belt and the front 2 inches below the belt. Another option I did is to leather line all the pockets, which turned out really nice.
The...
Hi everyone,
Over the summer, I bought a Langlitz Crescent jacket. This is their cafe racer type jacket. It is the medium weight hide (which is plenty heavy!) and medium fit (allows you to layer one light sweater underneath). I also had them make it a little longer in the body.
When I...
Hi,
I just purchased an Aero B-6 and was wondering what you guys recommend to condition/protect the leather. I've heard that you do not want to use regular leather conditioner on a shearling as this may clog the pores.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
