Greetings All:
Today....it’s been awhile but was posting a hat so i thought the 85’ Langlitz needed some time. A top ten jacket and hat for me.

Will probably have to chop down the laces to keep them from getting tangled in stuff or yoinked by kids, cats, etc...

Love this style- thanks @Monitor

you can lace it upward and tuck the leftover in I guess

Looks great. What size is it? Very interested in actual measurements, especially pit to pit. Been eyeing this style for a while.

This one is a stock size 40. My usual Vanson size across many models. While a 42 always seems more comfortable at first, they break in way to loose baggy on me. Either too long torso or wide in the waist. Learned to suffer through a slightly tight fit when brand new to end up with the perfect size down the road.

I’ll make a separate post with better pics and some questions for the lounge on my mode j modification plans

That is superb!!! Fit is to the nuts perfect.
You cleaned your mirror for this one=keeper.

LOL. You called it. Literally was just about to snap the pic and had to get the windex! Who says this jacket hobby / addiction doesn’t have its side benefits

After some serious mangling Route 66 CXL, still very tense

Took some better pictures of the new LW Ryder this afternoon. I’m really loving this jacket and I highly recommend the 3.5 oz horse to anyone who wants an LW but doesn’t feel the need or desire to get the really heavy stuff. At a little over 4 pounds it weighs about half as much as my CHP.

The jacket arrived on Monday just in time for some unseasonably warm weather. It was 73 degrees when I went out for my walk this afternoon but I took the jacket with me anyway. Figure I can break it in a bit carrying it around under my arm...

Perfect fit! I love the Ryder. When it looks as good as yours there’s no question...it’s Stu’s best pattern. Just a perfect everyday leather jacket.

Little over 4 lbs?? that's 2.5 oz probably, great looking jacket.

Woohoo ! You look amazing ! I need one of this baby too.

Not a bad idea!

I don’t ride (other than bicycle ) so I may be able just to find a preferred fit and cut it very short. We’ll see!

If what you say is true then I’ve been cheated on my weight!!!
Just kidding, to be honest I wouldn’t care if the jacket was only 2.5 oz because it wears nicely and looks good.

That's what i have done on most of my laced jackets, i find the sweet spot, make a double flat knot and chop the ends, i am not a fan of dangling leather laces:

Saying that, my Langlitz has this two knot setup that i like and i don't feel the need to cut them shorter:

My brand new Aero Highwayman in Vicenza cordovan. I asked for a sympathetic lucky dip tartan lining, and I’m very pleased with the outcome. Logan modern I think, looking at the Lochcarron site...

Love this style- thanks @Monitor

Honesty - and not just 'cause it was my jacket - I didn't think it'd fit you this good. 10/10 perfect as far as I am concerned.

I bought these red laces in Canada. The jacket originally had these flimsy, fabric laces. Like shoe laces. Didn't look good at all. Figured red would really lift the jacket.

@AbbaDatDeHat , I'll be honest with you, that Langlitz doesn't fit you at all. Especially zipped up. Definitely one jacket you should consider selling. Like, right now.
