Way over rated. period. Nothing wrong with them, just twice the price of what they should be. IF you have money to blow and want the name, then by all means. But there are MANY other heavy-duty brands out there that are just as good. I especially don't dig the OP's obvious want to have everyone love this brand. Smells like a shill albeit an overzealous shill for the company.
And YES, I have owned several Langlitz leathers over the years all of which I sold at various times on ebay. Every single one of the listings I had got a flag and a demand from Langlitz to verify their authenticity. How Langlitz has some kind of agreement with ebay to hassle sellers of their bsecondhand wares is beyond me. But I will say that the attitude of the people I had correspondences with at Langlitz was not much unlike our caffeinated friend here. But I'm sure that their salesman are all real nice. lol.

Sounds like you got hassled for some reason by LANGLITZ for selling leather jackets on Ebay claiming them to be Langlitz.

You asked if they are worth the money. "Nothing is worth that much" is an answer to that question. I thought you rich suburban guys rode a BMW with matching leather suits, anyhow.

Vanson
Lewis Leathers
Schott
Even Harley leathers before they were made over seas. The list goes on.
Are you seriously implying that I was selling fake leathers? Rather immature behavior for an adult on a civilized forum like HDforums. The main purpose as I see it is to share, inform and discuss with fellow enthusiast. I have first hand knowledge of this company in question and I think it beneficial for fellow riders to see an alternate view instead of all the gushing that was going on. Personal attacks are just babyish. However, that being said… blow me.

What I just don’t get is the people who scoff about the price.But, I know it’s hard to say “I can’t afford it”. If nothing else be thankful that the Co.has not caved like so many others here in the states.Some willingly and some not.

The real reason to buy Langlitz is for the custom fit - that's what you're paying for along with a made in the USA feel good factor and knowing that the people that make these are paid enough to pay income tax. If you can buy an off the rack jacket and have it fit you well enough then I say go for it (just get good quality leather). (I own Langlitz pants and jacket in goat hide and previously was never satisfied with the fit of other vendors).
By the way - before you assume that say, Vanson, is made in the USA you might want to double check. They (and likely others) are now making a significant (not all) number of their jackets overseas.
I e-mailed them in 2009 and asked them and they were very polite about it:

"vanson is no longer entirely made in USA. we have a plant in el salvador and about 80% of our standard stuff is now made there."
It bothers me that the starting price of a Langlitz might now be $1300 tho'. That's siginificantly more than I paid for my goatskin and goatskin is a mark up.

Oh yeah, you got a lot to talk about. Wearing the gay black and orange ensemble with the poser vest. Anything you can't afford "just ain't worth that much" from what I've seen.Guns,scoots,leathers,just so much garbage,if YOU don't own it. Bet none of the guys above,who actually own Langlitz gear,is rich. They just won't settle for crap,and you will.

Hmm - I know mine are supposed to have a number/my name printed inside but I ordered a leather lined pocket in place of the cloth and I think that resulted in the s/n / name not being included.

What a cheesedick. Langlitz jackets are serial numbered,have been for decades now.They look out for their customers,as their jackets are highly prized,and stolen on occasion.That's why you got red-flagged.Your bullshit claims of "having owned several Langlitz leathers over the years" rings a little hollow in light of your other bullshit observation about them being "way over rated". Such a savy buyer wouldn't buy one in the first place, if that were true.Go gobble some Euro-trash sclong.
