That jacket looks good on you red devil!
I was never wild about that one when I saw pictures on the web or on the Japanese Langlitz site, it always seemed a little busy to me. Seeing it on you though has changed my mind, it doesn’t seem at all flashy or over the top. A nice solid motorcycle jacket for sure.

I noticed that with most of their jackets, you need to try thrm on. I wasn't that hot on the Columbia until I tried it and now it is most likely going to be my next order from them

I'd have one of these, if I didn't already have a dozen or more black leather motorcycle jackets.

This one is unique enough to justify itself :D

@red devil I‘ve just sent a price request for a red goatskin one to Langlitz...not sure yet if I really want to take the risk to order a red leather jacket and I‘m not sure about the quality of Langlitz compared to others like Thedi, Aero, Freewheelers, etc. I really like that style and you‘re responsible for another jacket if my wife asks me why I order another one

I am happy to take full responsibilty for this order! Please let her give me a call so that I can explain why this is one of the best decisions you ever made :D

Which model are you looking to get exaclty?

Their goat skin is nice and durable, is there any reason you want goat? Just curious and want to make sure you get what you are looking for :)

In terms of quality, it easily looks as durable as any of the makers here. In terms of stitching and construction, it is very clean, better finish than the Aeros I have seen so far, not as tightly stitched as Lost Worlds or Freewheelers.

In other words a very well finished funtional jacket, and the range of motion is top notch. Add the fact that they are highly experienced in nailing a fit and you have a serious contender.

Basically a jacket that you can wear all the time, feel very comfortable in, and not need to baby in any way.

Thanks, Man! Actually the same as you in red goatskin and probably with crown zippers. I want a durable mid-weight leather and for sure my wife will laugh out loud when I really order it. I have been looking at the Death Head‘s Cascade for 2 years or so but I never felt „ready“ for this special design until I saw your rewiew! Total price incl shipping is $1955 plus 25% VAT and duty...actually more than expected...I think I‘ll wait a while and think about it. Sadly Theodoros doesn‘t offer that style.

This is an iconic design that belongs to a company still in business so it is probably best go with them as they are still making very good jackets.

Their goat certainly feels durable and the jacket weighs slightly over 2kg, so it does indeed fill your requirements.

I haven't seen their red goat, but have seen their red cow, and it was a very nice shade. I paid less for mine but I suspect because it is black goat and stock.

I would love to see it in red. Not sure if I would go with brass or nickel hardware with red... hmm...

Thanks, The options almost double the price :eek:

Don't ask about their horsehide option...

Can you ride in that jacket without it being fastened up fully ?

I suspect you could once you add a snap to hold the flap, which you are better off doing after having used the jacket for a while
