While they do produce fine quality leathers Langlitz now seems to sell most of their apparel overseas to well-heeled Japanese who will pay anything for authentic old-timey American leather togs. Their jacket prices start at $850 and go sharply skyward with options. One used to see dozens of new Langlitz jackets in Portland, but, sadly, no longer. Alternative: Luckily Portland is home to another custom-made nostalgia motorcycle jacket maker with more down to earth prices: Classic Motorcycle Jackets. They are open by appointment so checkout their website for info.
