Schott is $$, langlitz is $$$$. I bought one a few years ago, had it made to measure. Ive owned vanson, bates, schott, and a cal. The langlitz blows them all away. Id take one langlitz over one of each of the rest combined its so good.

 

I am sure it is. I can afford it, but I just can't. As I said, as it is I think they make them overly thick just to fool people. Foxcreeks women's jackets are thinner. Are they not safe, or are women just smarter than us?

I'd just feel guilty. But I realize I spend money on other stuff, the people would think is frivioulous. I'd rather go buy a gun.

 

I’ve tried a a bunch and am most happy with my Fox Creek. Just seems to fit me best and it is higher quality. My opinion cheap and quality do not go in the same sentence when talking leathers

 

I suggest a used FXRG. I bought one in ebay about 10 years ago and absolutely love it. I think at that time, I paid less than $300.00 for it. The guy even sent me the FXRG gloves along with it! One of the best jackets I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned plenty of them.

 

My langlitz is thinner than my vansons were, bates was thinnest of the bunch. It is extremely stiff though. It was a total splurge for me, i figured i was going to drop 800-1000 on a vanson whats another couple hundred on the langlitz and get custom everything. I had the money, it was a bad *** year, wtf why not.

 

I am anxiously awaiting my new fox creek

 

For me !000 for clothes is a lot, when I can get some a good product like foxcreek a lot less. Which is soft out of the box. ucks that you spend that much and stiff. I think they have even gotten expensive.

I get it. I come in to money, and buy stuff too.

 

Z custom out in california does full custom jackets and theyre popular with the track guys in california. I wanted to try one of theres and theyre similar in price to fox creek. Same with johnsons leather but i think johnsons is a little closer to schott in price. I guess the guy that owns z custom made the hd and marlboro man jacket when he was working at bates.

 

Totally agree. I happened to be in Portland OR a few years back and wanted to see what all of the fuss was about, so I popped in to Langlitz shop. They really are great jackets and good people. They did all of the measurements for me and after, had me try one on that happened to be on the rack - it's like it was meant to be...so I walked out with it and have zero regrets. I have a Schott too and that 's great as well...just not as great as the Langlitz. I'm super frugal with most things, but when it comes to gear, I'm of the "buy once/cry once" philosophy. Wasn't an inexpensive jacket, but I wear it all the time and will never have to buy another jacket.

 

TracerBullet,

Is your bike Twisted Cherry Color? Nice, I'm thinking of painting mine that color.

Thanks.
