    Langlitz Cascade 50 years + OLD.

    Amazingly, because at some point this was certainly conditioned the threads are largely intact. That really speaks to the importance of not allowing our leather jackets to become too dry ever- especially where the stitching is concerned.

    Langlitz Cascade 50 years + OLD.

    I did ask for advice and suggestions on issues with the jacket but ultimately I had to live with the consequences and simply had to wash it. Thankfully there were no consequences other than a clean awesome smelling leather jacket. There would have been no joy for me in wearing a smelly jacket. A...

    Langlitz Cascade 50 years + OLD.

    My pleasure. Because there was some underarm odor at the armpit in the liner I used Natures Miracle natural enzyme liquid as my first step saturating the armpit area. After about 15 minutes I used tide liquid detergent on a gentle cycle, tap cold water. I believe the cycle lasted 40 minutes. I...

    EBay arghh!! ##$&&

    Agreed. Set the lowest price you are willing to accept. But I do like the "make an offer" option. You can set the "buy it now" sky high in case someone actually bites but in the meantime you can accept offers and "negotiate."

    After a gentle wash cycle with detergent and a three day room temperature drying (I did use fans), I conditioned with Langlitz conditioner.

    Langlitz Cascade 50 years + OLD.

    What is amazing to me is that the leather with unknown history of conditioning (had to have had some over the years) can look so good after so long. A testimony to well tanned quality leather. Especially the padding being in such good condition. I think I have finally figured out the correct...

    GoodWear Beck RS 666 Review

    Having owned Lost World's, Thedi, Aero, Langlitz, Schott etc. I kept reading about this guy named John Chapman from GoodWear. My understanding was that he produced an exceptional product. My chance finally came when a Beck 666 became available. There is a history regarding an original Beck...

    Langlitz Cascade 50 years + OLD.

    Technovox bid and won this jacket but it did not fit and he was generous in passing it on to me. A true Grail jacket. Had to have jacket relined and replace the main zipper (shipped from Langlitz). Everything else is original with the suggested date of manufacture, according to Scott at...
