What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ai00344]

Roughly one year in this Sheene. This was my first leather jacket, now part of a larger stable thanks to this forum. Really love this simple jacket, and can't wait to keep beating it around. I posted a few more evo photos in the original thread I made for this jacket.

Tea core alert!

Got this thanks to the "Finds and deals" thread. Been looking for a Langlitz a long time to no avail, until recently 3 opportunities appeared at the same time, this one being the most interesting fitwise. @Guppy had a decisive input in my decision, getting additional information from the buyer and suggesting the deal could be done with a reasonable offer. He was totally right about that, and in no time, the jacket was mine.
When it arrived, I realized that Langlitz is really something else. First, I was relieved to see the fit seemed OK, especially in the waist . But the leather! I think they call it midweight, but this is probably one of the thickest I've ever came across. Not that it's particularly stiff, but it truly is consistent. The only comparable hide I own is a Route 66 in CXl HH , but it's at least 15 years old and it turned soft as lambskin. This one needs getting used to.
That's why I gave it the Carlos + Navetsea threatment, basically wearing it and moving in it as much as i can.
As a matter of fact, it is obviously tailored for maximum mobility, and it's amazing how you can move your arms in any direction without the body moving . But you have to adapt to the cut, especially the massive sleeves. Do they need to be so roomy in the biceps area?
Anyway, I'm starting to get used to it. I read here and there some stories about made to measure orders that were not always immediately satisfactory. The answer from Langlitz was to take some time to get used to the jacket. I believe that time is a very important factor in this case.
Below are a few pics. The color is kind of unusual: grey with a marble effect that I tried to heighten by pushing the contrast in Lightroom. Otherwise, the leather is starting to show some very strong grain and character in places. I think I'm getting addicted to it.

My GF wearing my (well hers now...) vintage Swedish Motorjacka:

These are really cool. This is a size 48 and is a tiny bit small for me, i might look for a size 50 for myself.
Thanks @torfjord.

No problem at all, happy to help. Too bad it didn’t work out for you, but it looks like a great fit for your girlfriend!

Beautiful jacket!

Thanks. It was sticky at first but easy now. Quick and smooth. And no fear that a hard pull will be it’s last.

Inaugural dog walk with my new hooch hauler. Picked it up from the Aero sales page this August but haven't been able to wear if because of the heat.

Not real shearling unfortunately, its just yellow fleece, very fluffy though..
It does have camel hair stormcuffs that go from just below the elbow down to the wrist.
The swedes know how to make a cold weather jacket...

Vanson Mohawk. Slowly starting to yield and take my shape but long way to go. And damn, I really need to clean my mirror!

It does get fairly cold here for about 6 months of the year, just sayin.

That grain looks amazing J!
I am so stoked to think that I have that in store for me once I put some more wear into my LW!

Vanson really raised the bar with that CR.
