I have never worn or owned a langlitz, but I am very happy with my fox creek jacket. I bought a matching pair of closeout jackets for about the price of what one jacket usually costs. It might not be the best out there, but very good value for the price.

Bottom line: You usually get what you pay for. The thrill of getting a good deal soon wears off when the reality of what you could have had for a little more sets in.... JMO...

Default Fox Creek is excellent

The Fox Creek are excellent. I have their Commander and the matching pants and it's great quality.

The Langlitz I have not owned, but I bet they are more custom fitted (although FC will custom fit you) and are more detailed. However, I am a working man, and although I really appreciate quality, I wouldn't pay the extra for the Langlitz. I don't buy custom motorcycles or expensive booze either.

Maybe that's just me, a working stiff with two college tuitions and a sagging 401K and a few years left on my modest mortgage.

You got the dough, go for it.

I've been buying jackets from Langlitz for well over thirty years. Currently on my third, a fully customized one-of-a-kind, built by Jackie (Ross' daughter) herself.

The first one was taken by my ex wife in a divorce... the second was somewhat 'destroyed' in an accident (not my fault) and the third I still have and wear regularly.

When I'm out and about, the jacket never leaves my side. It's so incredibly well constructed, that after fifteen years, still looks like it's new.

Heavy weight goatskin and with detail you would have to see to appreciate.

If you have the money, buy a Langlitz... you will never regret the decision.

I love Fox Creek, I had some sizing problems with my vest. I was surprised when I got a call from the owner Paul, who made sure everything was measured and properly fitted. Great company and great products!

Langlitz will last a lifetime of protecting your hide.They also repair their products should you have an oops.

Fox Creek is a super product. If I could buy the other I'd give you my unbiased opinion but I can't. Have to buy some tuition and pay taxes before the end of the month
