Well, I decided to relist this after changing my mind to sell the first time. I just bought a Langlitz Columbia so now it has to go. Its such a beautiful jacket. The nicest Vanson Ive ever owned. Fantastic, thick leather with great grain. Definitely a coat made for riding. With zip-out liner. I...
I bought this fantastic Langlitz Columbia that I believe to be from the 1960s and is (probably) horsehide? Ive owned many Langlitz but none with this kind of grain. Its pretty damn thick and HEAVY. Anyone here have any opinions? Either way, Im thrilled to death it fits me(: Keep in mind I didn't...
Beautiful late 70s/early 80s Vanson. Thick leather with liner. Perfectly worn in. I will truly miss this one, but alas, I no longer fit in it anymore. $300+shipping.
Selling my fantastic Headwind A1 jacket. I only wore it a few times and then promptly gained some weight and now it doesn't quite fit): Its a beauty. $300 +$20 shipping.
"Up for sale a size 44 A-1 Racer jacket. This jacket is made out our new Seal semi aniline dyed Steerhide. It is 1.5mm thick...
Very reluctant sale of my beautiful Langlitz Cascade from 1996. The leather is heavy goatskin. This jacket is showing lovely worn in patina with everything in perfect working order and no rips or damage anywhere. It also has the benefit of 5 pockets: 2 on the outside and 3 internal. The exterior...
1960’s Langlitz Cascade Police jacket. Unlined, It feels like steerhide (or horsehide?) Leather. Looks even better in person! The PO said it was purchased from an estate sale in Louisiana 25 years ago. Custom size is approx. 44/46. Very Good overall condition, some scuffs on the leather as seen...
Alas, Ive come to realize this awesome jacket is a bit too big for me. The PO said it was purchased from an estate sale in Louisiana 25 years ago. Custom size is approx. 46. Very Good overall condition, some scuffs on the leather as seen. Front zipper was replaced by Langlitz recently. Small...
This came in the mail today, a 1960s Langlitz police jacket. I bought it for REALLY cheap shortly after he posted the ad, so that was a lucky break! The PO bought it from an estate sale in Louisiana 20 years ago. Ive never seen a Langlitz PD jacket in this design before. I plan on going to...
Im looking at a cool police jacket made by Metropolitan Uniform Co. out of Detroit. Not sure the date of manufacture, but it looks a bit like a Buco J-27. Anyone have any info on this company? Did they make decent leather jackets?
Incredible, thick horsehide leather Roadster jacket by Alexander Leathers (now Simmons Bilt), one of the best constructed leathers Ive ever owned. Just starting to break in. Talon zippers, nickel hardware. The PO had pins in each collar that left little holes, but not that noticeable in my...
Vintage Schott Cycle Rider NYC USA Police Leather Jacket, sz 44. I absolutely adore this jacket, but its a smidge short in front for my longer torso. Not too bad, but I don't think I can pull it off for a stout 52yr old): If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't dream of letting it go. Best fitting...
I got this on eBay with high hopes but its just a bit too big for me. 2007 Goatskin Columbia in amazing condition. Offering this for the price I paid, $650. Or possible trade for an equal quality motorcycle leather (no CRs please).Heres my eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233207019746
One is a Schott Cycle Riders CHP jacket:
The other is a goatskin Langlitz Columbia from 2007:
The Schott fits great. an almost perfect 44R. Its a bit short in the front, but overall a fantastic buy. I think its a real policemans jacket because of the badge patch and heavy-duty belt...
Fantastic, HEAVY leather Branded CHP jacket. High quality jacket, Id say right up there with Langlitz quality. I would love to keep it, but just bought a new Langlitz (doh!) so I suppose I have to liquidate some things. A steal at $225+shipping for Fedora Members. Heres the eBay link...
I just got my new A1 Racer jacket from Jay at Headwind MFG. Its made from seal semi-aniline dyed steerhide. Firstly, the construction is absolutely first-rate. He apparently uses 8-9 stitches per inch, and it looks and feels sturdy and substantial. The leather is pretty soft and pliable, which...
It has some wrinkles from being stored in a saddle bag for a time, but really fabulous quality leather. Its a bit too big for me, so Im selling it for cheaps. Heres my eBay link with some more pix and measurements...
The guy who bought it initially asked me to return it because it didn't fit him, so, I did. Its up for grabs again. Measurements and details are in the eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233178867167?ul_noapp=true
Its from the 80s and is amazing.
I recently purchased a used Alexander Leathers Roadster jacket that was missing the pull chains on the top pockets, so on a lark I e-mailed Simmons Bilt Inquiring if they could possibly send me some replacements. Not expecting a reply for something so trivial, I got a response requesting my...
