leather jacket??
#112
I'm on my third Langlitz in thirty plus years. Wife took the first in the divorce. Second got cut up in an accident, driver's fault... not on a bike at the time. Third one, custom designed with Jackie (Langlitz) in 1993 and it's been with me since. Heavy duty black goat!
Best leather jacket, custom built, finest workmanship and great customer service.
If you really want the best, and do not have champagne taste on a beer budget, buy the best!

I checked the langlitz site and I sort of like one style of jacket. Sort of like and 1k bucks just dont go to geather for me.
I feel that my current 160.00 jacket will work just fine to protect me from the the road rash, should I ever need it and when I am done and the jacket is ripped to shreads as some seem to think it will be since it is not a 1 thousand dollar jacket I will simply buy another and still have spent 780.00 less.
I have to wonder how many of you who spent 1k on your jacket have spent 500 on a top of the line full face helmet?

I know Langlitz is a good quality and all American made and all of that. So is Fox Creek, and although I can't say I've ever had the opportunity to compare side by side, I find it hard to believe that anything could beat the quality of leather or craftsmanship of the Fox Creek products. FC charges $80 for any custom made fit above their standard prices.
For my money I am extremely pleased with the FC.
I know the langlitz is good stuff as is the Aero jackets, but FC is that good too. made in Independence VA with American leather.

Fox creek is not a manufacturer, they are a reseller, there is no comparison.
But if you can not get past the cost we will never understand the quality. Ride hard.

I did a search for leather jacket but didn't see much.
I'd like to buy a new leather jacket. I currently have a pretty ratty looking RiverRoad jacket.
I don't really want to have aHarley Davidson advertisement acrossmy back.
Whereis agood place to buy a nice leather riding jacket. Do you guys have a manufacturer you prefer.

I bought a FXRG a couple of years ago. It is the last Chinese jacket I will ever buy. I'd be a whole lot happier with it if it weren't for the craptastic zippers. Really, really poor quality zippers, just inexcusable on such an expensive product. I would not pay full price for the FXRG jackets. Fox Creek Jackets are better quality for less, and Vanson jackets are much higher quality for the same money as the FXRG leather jackets.

You can't possibly go wrong.
