    Hi tech, what weight is the JL you found a few years ago? https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/my-new-johnson-leathers-horween-chromexcel-overdyed-jacket.72039/ They have a 4.5 ounce I like but I'm not sure what the cut off is for comfort. I have a heavy Vanson so I'm used to it. How heavy...

    Langlitz just arrived... I guess I am a HH guy : (

    They don't really advertise. My understanding is that Langlitz makes about 4 or 5 basic styles of jackets and within each style there's a wide variety of possibilities to combine elements from each style. Here's a link from Langlitz Japan for the Timberline...

    Langlitz Cascade vs Crescent

    When I ride, I use a full suit with high density padding (Areostich made mine). If you're going to use your leather jacket as the your primary riding jacket, you might want to consider it. It's not high density padding their using in those jackets, though. I ride in a leather jacket...

    BTW, I think the Timberline is basically a Cascade with a straight front zip and a western style yoke and trim cut. Hope this helps.

    Cutbert, I'm thinking that's a Timberline in brown goat. There's quite a few trim-cut Timberlines on the link (http://bikers-heaven-hollywood.com/page014.html). They're a popular casual jacket among the Langlitz fans in Japan it seems. About half way down that page there's a guy that's got...

    In fact, looking through the above link has got me more stoked. I just emailed Scot and added another $300 bucks to my tab for my next build.

    Langlitz wouldn't be in business sine 1947 if they built shit. These Japanese guys seem to be quite happy with their gear and they're not old and fat: http://bikers-heaven-hollywood.com/page014.html

    Shame it didn't work out. Everyone I've known that's done business with Langlitz loves their jackets and can't say enough good things about the company. I've got deposits down for two more jackets with Langlitz, and with several months or researching my options and hides, I'm sure I'll get...

    Koritz, you had the measurements from and Aero order and you sent them these or did you retake them all together for this new order with Langlitz?

    All true but the part about it looking new forever. It changes quite a bit actually.

    Langlitz Cascade vs Crescent

    mtds, I love the standard dark brown steer they have. I'm toying with the idea of getting one build in the heavy steer. I have a sample that I've been carrying around. Would take a year to break in but I'd be game for it. Tommer, I've seen that jacket here before in another thread. I...

    De-waxing a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser

    Thank you for the suggestions, gentlemen. The Duluth jackets do look quality. I'll try the heat and paper towels first and see how it goes after a few treatments.

    De-waxing a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser

    I'd need a 40 Tall/Long which is 40% more than the $225 for the standard dry finish cruiser. I guess I'm feeling like I can do this with a little effort. The Japanese routinely wash the Filson garments for shrinking and I'm hoping to avoid this by being methodical and careful. All's not...

    De-waxing a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser

    Agreed, I think it will take about a half an hour each cleaning session and if I start to see much shrinkage, I can back off. I'll take some pics and post them as a resource (or warning) for future de-waxers out there.

    De-waxing a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser

    I was thinking I'd go with something very mild at first, let it dry and see how it goes. Then try it again and check for shrinkage. I really like the cruiser and the 40 long will give me a tiny bit of extra length to lose should it shrink some.

    Yes, good idea. They're usually very helpful.
