PBY Catalina...er, I mean 97-foot, twin-engine passenger ferry (350-person capacity).

Sounds like a dream kinda thing to be doing. Cool stuff. Better than PBY Catalina. That thing was used to take lives.

My new Langlitz Cascade that arrived yesterday:

It's got a straight zip with dress collar and I added a chest pocket. Three point western yoke on the back with pinstripes and dark brown contrast stitching all around. It is an absolutely beautiful jacket, but it is a bit tighter than I wanted. I am going to give it a little time to break in and then decide whether or not to send it back for a remake.

@El Marro- What an incredible jacket!
Congratulations! I hope it loosens up, I'd hate to give that one up.

I'm here to warn you guys. You keep thinking about leather and talking about leather and one day you'll wake up eligible for Medicare. And the next thing you know this will happen to you,

Thanks guys, I hope it loosens up as well! This jacket was built so well that I would hate part with it. Langlitz makes an exceptional jacket without a doubt.

That back is the best looking thing in the history of leather jackets. Seriously. Stunning man. Absolute PERFECTION!! Fit looks damn good to me!!

It's 60 degrees at night now out of the blue in Philadelphia. We were in the 90's and 100 percent humidity. I just spent 4 hours moisturizing with leather honey my Brooks MAde in Detroit , MIchigan in heavy steerhide so I'm wearing it. Question. If I send the jacket to Bruce Getshon owner Arrow leather care to put a brand new lining in it, does that decrease the value on vintage ???? The lining is amazing except a fed fray in cuff inside which are not visible . Any help most appreciated

Why replace it then?

These jackets are very nice but don't have much of a following, not like Buco, Californian, Schott, etc. so most people won't either care / notice if you replace the lining or not.
