FS: Langlitz Columbia Leather Jacket, sz. 42/44

[Monitor]

Vintage, 1960's classic Langlitz Columbia heavy leather jacket, size 44-ish.

TFL special price - $360!

This one was a calculated risk but as the meme goes, boy, I'm bad at math... Doesn't fit me the way I like, only want to get my money back ASAP. Making 0 $ on it.

Rarely ever seen in this tea-core, black leather. The over-dye fades to brown at the edges and the creases. Other than that, it's a straightforward (but stunning) Columbia.

Two side pockets, one lining pocket. Scovill main zipper, Talon for the pocket / sleeve zips.

The jacket is very heavy. Leather seems thicker than my LW. The tiny box it arrived in weighs 3 kg / 6.5 lbs.

Worn and used, the jacket is in a really good condition. Leather is perfect, the jacket is clean, no smells, etc. Two issues are...
➤Lining a bit frayed under the collar
➤Pull missing on one sleeve zipper (zipper still functions perfectly)
That's it. All else in a great shape. Perfectly wearable for another half a dozen decades.

Measures...
• Chest width (front): 22.5" / 57 cm
• Shoulder width: 20" / 50 cm
• Back length: 25.5" / 65 cm
• Sleeve length: 23" / 58 cm

Sleeves seem short but due to wider shoulders and the way Langlitz shapes their jackets, they fit as if they're 24-25" long. End just at the wrist. I mean, honestly, it's not a big deal but definitely not recommended for guys with longer arms.

I can wear the jacket but I just don't like the way it fits me in the body. If it was more fitted, I'd keep it.

The jacket is located in the European Union. Shipping to anywhere within the EU is included in the price.

If you have ANY questions or need any more photos, measurements or general info, don't hesitate to write.

Thanks for looking!

Such a great example!! Sleeves would be at least 2" short on me or we would be talking on this one!

So! With the Langlitz I'm gonna gift you one of these two leather jackets... If anyone's interested at all, chose one jacket and it's yours! I won't wear either, really wanna get some wear into some other jackets so...

Chicago PD jacket in blue Horsehide, sz. 40 (measures similar to Langlitz...)

Or...

Early, chewed up, gold label, early Brooks, sz. 40-42 (standard Brooks sizing, long arms, back, etc, fits slim)

It's... I personally wouldn't say it's in a sell-able state. It's really worn out. :/

So you could see how it fits me. I'm just too tall for this jacket but otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward Langlitz fit.

Anyone knows what the snaps in the back of the Chicago PD are?
@ton312 any ideas?

I don’t. Haven’t seen that before. I think it was probably decorative post it’s time as a service jacket.

Langlitz just told me it might be horsehide.

It definitely resembles this. Lot of brown showing through...

 

[Monitor]

TTT

Still here. Like I said, a trade is great, too. Something cross zip with a lighter lining would be perfect. I don't really care what it is, doesn't need to be Langlitz grade jacket.

This is a gorgeous jacket. If I could, I'd have the body slimmed down for me and would wear it. Don't even mind the sleeves. Leather is beautiful, heavy... Just perfect. Only not for me. It doesn't fit me at all, for some reason.

 

[Monitor]

Sold! Thank y'all kindly.

Well, was sold and now isn't because I can't ship to US anymore & the buyer gave up. So the jacket is still available tho only within the EU at this moment.
