60s LANGLITZ Leather Columbia 38 Motorcycle Jacket Buco Bates Vanson Schott Vtg | eBay
This is a VERY UNIQUE, 1-of-1 jacket ordered with: straight front zipper, fold down collar, open pockets, deleted adjustable body laces, and made of brown cowhide leather in the mid-to-late 1960's. I'll consider a trade for a really cool leather jacket in size 42.
