Custom Langlitz Sidewinder

[Big Steve]

The guys over at Langlitz outdid themselves with a jacket I had them take on. It's a modified version of their Sidewinder jacket. Absolutely blown away !!
I've picked up a number of Langlitz jackets over the years and this one by far is quite simply stunning. Hope you enjoy the pics.

How is the fit? Did you go there personally or were you able to dial it in because of previous experience?

That looks sweet, the red accents really work. Langlitz had a jacket on their Instagram with red stitching but yours looks better, and you wouldn’t notice the stitching unless you’re up close I’d guess.

Nice choices with the jacket

That’s the most important part! Fit pics, especially with Langlitz. Seems like quite a few experiences where the jacket “looks” beautiful but then doesn’t quite fit the owner as expected etc. Main reason why I gave up on buying second hand Langlitz, just too many variables in their full custom sizing.

^^^Exactly. Fit pictures! Fit pictures!

Thanks for checking out the pics and for the comments !! As to the question pertaining to fitment. I've never been up to Portland to be personally fitted however every jacket that I've ever gotten from them has fit like an absolute glove. The measurements are considerable and doing them right I've found is key to the process. It's laborious and sometimes takes a call or two to get it down just right, but its soo worth it.
As to the fitment of the Sidewinder itself - spot on !! Snug and well form-fitting but not tight. And their 'colored' leather is soft and supple from the start - but by no means thin or lightweight feeling.
I'll see what I can do about getting some fit pics.

Congratulations Big Steve, that is a very nice Sidewinder! I appreciate the distinct features that make it yours and I have always been a sucker for the Langlitz pinstriping. Nicely done!

@Big Steve did you ever get around to fit pics? Not sure if you posted them elsewhere if you did.

I meant to and wasn't able to get good ones - I'll try again here in the near future. I will say this though - it made an absolutely phenomenal riding jacket this past season.

Got it, glad to hear it’s working out for you!
