Goatskin Cafe' Racer

[pak]

I've been trying to locate a maker for a Cafe Racer or similar style jacket in goatskin. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey Pak,
Check out the Atwood by Magnoli- http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/atw...thiers-custom-made-leather-jackets-p-233.html. I have been eyeing this design for awhile, as Magnoli seem to be pretty reputable.

The shape of that looks really good I especially dig the collar.I wonder what the quality of their goatskin is like

Johnson Leathers made me one in a lovely dark brown 2.5 oz veg dyed goat a couple of years ago. I chose the hide as goat is my favourite.

Langlitz, of course - http://www.langlitz.com/crescent. Aero will make one, I'm sure. What about Pegasus?

When it comes to goatskin cafe racer jackets, Langlitz Leathers was the first thought that came to my mind as well. The goatskin that they use is fantastic stuff.

Langlitzz is the goat specialist, like aero hh. Lovely stuff.

Alexander Leathers offers the Dirtrider in Goatskin, both black & seal brown.
I have in the black jerky horsehide.

Langlitz. Ask about their "Skookum Cascade", otherwise known as a 1950's dress collar Cascade.

Save you pennies and nickels and buy a Langlitz.

Their Goat is superb.

I've had a lot of Jackets, quite a few in Goat. Presently I have Lost Worlds, Aero, Langlitz, and Gibson & Barnes in Goat. Langlitz is the best. Have got rid of maybe 8 or 9 other(different) manufacturers of Goat Jackets. mainly WWII and Korea, and Viet Nam vintage.

If you get one used in perfect condition, you can wear it for free!

Because they are appreciating!

I bought a used one for in the $800 range about 5 years ago. Now used it's worth $1000 or more.

5 years ago, the jacket was around $1000 new, it's now about $1400.

What will the prices be in 5 more years?
