    early motorcycle gloves

    A few places make motorcycle gloves in a "classic" gauntlet format. I think Langlitz does, for example. From what I've seen they all look very much alike; the same basic pattern. I like Lee Parks gloves. Both the short and gauntlets follow a newer pattern that has fewer parts which means fewer...

    Langlitz Motorcycle pants - How to determine age or era of build?

    Just sent an email with pix to Langlitz. We'll see if I get a response in the next few days. If they give me any information I'll update here. Here are the pix I sent. Langlitz Competition Breeches: There is only one small pocket at the right hip. Scovill again for the main front zip. I...

    Langlitz Motorcycle pants - How to determine age or era of build?

    Hi, Yesterday I just received a second-hand pair of Langlitz Western pants in goatskin. I was not sure about the measurements. Of course I would only buy something (new or used) that fit and had the correct measurements. You never really know for sure though until you try the thing on. I am...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    Hi, Yesterday I just received a second-hand pair of Langlitz Western pants in goatskin. I was not sure about the measurements. Of course I would only buy something (new or used) that fit and had the correct measurements. You never really know for sure though until you try the thing on. I am...

    Vanson model E

    I have to say this thread has made me a fan of this pattern. I think it's different than many "biker jacket" clones or close variations but not just to be different. In some ways it seems a more practical design. This new one looks good. Let me know if you ever/WHEN you consider selling it. So...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Hi, That looks interesting. What happened to the collar? Is this now with no collar? What is that circle or hole in-between the shoulders? A snap? For what? Are there no hand-warmer pockets along the side? Or maybe we can't see them from these views? Two-Tone is cool. However I would bare in...

    Complete rip off of Lewis Leathers cyclone in Clutch cafe, London.

    I see. So maybe some stores are not dealers, for whatever reason, and so they can't/don't sell the original brands. They instead sell replicas and copies of those brands. Replicas and copies made by companies whose purpose is to make replicas and copies for various markets. Economics. All gaps...

    Complete rip off of Lewis Leathers cyclone in Clutch cafe, London.

    Interesting. I'm sure this happens a lot and everyone "borrows" from each other. If you feel it is truly a direct, unapologetic rip-off of the original design (I don't know much about Lewis Leathers besides how to spell it), and it bothers you, if you don't want to intervene in person, you might...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Nice drawings/layout. I am a fan of design and industrial design. I like things that are designed to be functional and actually work. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not a fan of the pre-distressed clothes. I also resent snaps, zippers, etc. that are non-functional. I've seen pants and jackets where...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks. The jacket actually came a day early; the night before. It seems that I misunderstood or calculated the size wrong and it's a bit too tight around the torso. Ironically the sleeves I was worried about are about where I thought they would be and would be fine. It's definitely heavy...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Wow do I love this jacket. At first I thought it was a vintage jacket that you found somewhere. Now re-reading your post - this is a new jacket? If so, how do I get one? Of course this is custom measured & cut I presume. Can one get other custom features? Like zippered cuffs or a loop for a...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    The gray has a bit over twice the age, if I'm guessing correctly, yes. I'm not sure about dating these jackets so it could even be older. I also feel that it's been neglected. Of course it depends on your interests. If you like a vintage jacket with a bit of wear and experience showing, then...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I thought I posted two jackets front/back - ? There should be a black jacket and a grey jacket. The top one does look blueish but it's black. That might be part of the reason the auction ended close to where it started. These are the eBay pictures the seller had up. It's probably the lighting...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Here is a jacket that should be here tomorrow. I wish the back had pinstripes but it seems like it will fit. I am only worried about the arm length right now. Not crazy about the chest pocket but I might feel differently when I try it on. In the pix it looked almost new and the price wasn't...

    Show Your Patina

    About half way through cleaning up and conditioning the jacket. I'm afraid this might be well beyond "Patina" for some of you.

    Vintage Grail? What are you looking for? My Langlitz Story.

    Don't tell this story to my family? Well what the hell do you think I'm doing here? :) - Amongst a circle of strangers as they all silently nod their heads, wiping away tears of empathy. Some people might not think it's worth it, but yes, I paid and took my little precious home. By the way...

    Vintage Grail? What are you looking for? My Langlitz Story.

    For those who enjoy Short Stories or Long Posts. Especially about jackets. Hi, How are you today? I'm sharing my story here because I don't know who else would care besides a bunch of strangers who love jackets. Please tell me if any of this sounds or feels familiar. Am I crazy? Am I being...

    Vintage leather care opinions

    Hi, I'm new here and not any kind of an expert. However I am also currently trying to save a special jacket (one of the reasons I found Fedora Lounge). Since the jacket I'm working on is a Langlitz and I was given some Langlitz Leather dressing before, after much back-and-forth and indecision...
