Well, here's something interesting.
I found this yahoo japan auction listing for a Langlitz Timberline jacket that has a Scarecrow label in it.
Google Translated: "Bespoke custom leather jacket made of 1998 made Langlitz and Scarecrow double name.
It is a rare specification of custom made by Scarecrow which is the individual of the time when Scarecrow started selling Langritz the first time in Japan, the same luxury leather that it is not comparable with current thing, the same thing as two does not exist I will."
It's hard to understand the machine translations offered through google, but I'm starting to suspect that Scarecrow may be a reseller shop based in Japan, who stock various high-end leather jackets. It sounds like, at least with this particular jacket, they specified the design to Langlitz, who built it for them. (But then, it doesn't make sense why their label says "Made In USA" on the Scarecrow label if they're indeed a Japanese company.)
I'm still sleuthing, but it'd definitely help if someone who speaks Japanese or knows the Japanese high end leather market were able to step in with some info.
I did see the top photo with reference to Langlitz on my internet travels. I am thinking Langlitz distributor in Japan too.
