    30's Half Belt Test Jacket Fit Photos. All and any input welcomed...

    I definitely don't want to sell yet another "perfectly good jacket" due to my sizing inputs as I have done recently with a Lost Worlds Suburban and an Aero Sheene. I now realize another 1.5" added to the front and back lengths would lead me right back to the sadly familiar territory of being on...

    Thanks Coop and HD first knuckle of the thumb is about 2.5" and measures out nicely.

    Thinking my overall view of the fit jacket may be skewed by the sleeve length being so short. Thanks for sharing your input based on ordering too long.

    30's Half Belt Test Jacket Fit Photos. All and any input welcomed...

    Must be the cut of the jacket as that will put my sleeve length 3/4” longer than my now sold Sheene but I agree. May have the front and back length also extended 1.5 inches.

    I'm in the fit process with Carrie for a Plainsman and received my fit jacket yesterday (Blue Vicenza Sunburst). The 30's HB family of jackets work best for my frame and especially my upper back/shoulder area. Carrie sent this Sunburst for body fit and as far as that is concerned I am happy (as...

    Aero Premiere Half Belt fit opinions and fit pics.

    Absolutely. They are supposed to measure the jacket when it arrives in Seattle to double check before shipping to your home address. The final measurement is in place to prevent an obvious error like this from happening.

    Aero Premiere Half Belt fit opinions and fit pics.

    Fits more like a loose Highwayman. Perhaps they’ll pickup shipping costs and a few other things.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Really excited to see Dave bring it back to life. I wore it sparingly and gave it to my sister in 1989 who has worn it whenever the DC and Atlanta weather allows for 29 years. Dave makes it clear that his jacket renovations are not a lipstick makeover but a complete comprehensive over haul. Not...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    Funny you’d post this today as I wore it for several hours and realized it is setting in beautifully. There is a lot more space between my chest and the body or the jacket on my left side. I measured the arms, ptp and back and it is identical to my G1 I was issued in Pensacola in 1979 (still...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    I gathered speaking with the guys at Langlitz was feedback from customers who order cowhide expecting the drape and feel of goatskin when the jacket arrives. If you go to the shop the jackets primarily available to try on are goat, which is fantastic but far more supple intially than cow or...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    You are correct, as the jacket settled in it did loosen up a bit and that led to me noticing more fit issues. Love Aero and will order several more (Maxwell, Type III and possibly a Plainsman) but still find the build quality of Langlitz superior. Like any jacket and especially the first from a...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    Hilarious, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a pair of 36"...."Guns"!!! Thanks, good advice on the sleeves that I'ii pass along. Can't say enough about the superb quality of product Langlitz delivers. Looking forward to what arrives after the tune up and of course a million or so curls on...

    The hype about Langlitz is REAL.

    Dark brown cowhide Crescent arrived today and believe you me that everything you read about Langlitz customer service, jacket fit, workmanship and comfort is “UNDERRATED”. I ordered my Crescent in medium weight cowhide in dark brown in a regular fit which allows for light layering. Love the...
