The ONLY youtube video that actually said what i needed to hear,hope
business is good and stays good!
My uncle gave me his leather jacket he's had for 27 years..... It's a beauty!
Great video, just getting ready to put dressing on the Langlitz jacket and pants my dad passed on to me, so was glad to find your video!
Awesome, informative vid. I'll be conditioning my jacket tomorrow so these tips are really appreciated.
Leather motorcycle jackets are the best! 🇺🇸 I’ve had mine for 15 years.
Been a fan since 1987 and love your gear! I now have two jackets from you and it is always a pleasure to ride with them. Thanks for all you do, building the best leather jacket in the world!
Thank you! Always love hearing this!
@Corey Yuen No I just really hate crashing and road rash

Thank you for this information 🙏
Worth watching just for the hair dryer tip!
Hi Bennie, thank you for the video. I’ve definitely over applying the dressing to my jacket so I took your good advice by using a hair dryer and a cloth to wipe of the excess. Wah Lah! It WORKS! Thanks again.
Hey Alex,
Glad that trick worked! Make sure you keep up on it once or twice a year! If you have any questions about jacket care please don’t hesitate to call the shop!

@@langlitz1658 thanks again and all the best to you all in langlitz!
"Voilà". (Pronounced: vwahlah)
While you may have been over applying, I'm sure the leather on your jacket is nice and supple! I've had a classic leather motorcycle jacket since 2019 and I'm about to start conditioning it and all that. Definitely planning to have this jacket passed down to my son.
these are great jackets
Super helpful 👍
Excellent!
How about how to stop bleeding? I see lots of acrylic sealants but I want a matte finish
Thanks!!!
I was introduced to Langlitz back in the early 60s and bought my first of pants from you in 1971- I still have them. I wore them mostly for east coast enduros so they saw a lot of wear and tear. I returned them to you about few years ago for “adjustments” and some tears and you all. Did a great job. The leather has a lot of character but has lost its finish. I doubt the finish can be restored but any suggestions? I also just inherited a perfect Columbia jacket which is a bit tight- can it be resized mostly around the middle.
Thanks.

I believe even the most skilled tailors can only downsize with re-fits unfortunately.
As for finish restoration on your Langlitz - yes, it's done frequently as I'm sure you've discovered by now. Good luck #LEATHERrefurb
Hi thanks for that
Hey there Langlitz - I've seen some folks with extremely shiny 10 pocket padded columbias, and some arent as much. It almost seems like they are applying some kind of product to it, beyond Leather Dressing.
Do you recommend any type of product to give it an extreme shine, while remaining as black as possible?
I have used *Fiebings Leather Sheen* on mine before, but it just made it extremely creeky, and left a cloudy white residue on the Jacket, so I just cleaned that off.
Hey Eric!
Thanks for reaching out! At one time we did have a batch of leather with a higher shine than what we are currently using. We no longer receive that from the tannery. What we are using now does have a pretty medium to medium-high shine to it.
Shine can be achieved in two ways - type of leather and possibly certain conditioner products. We don’t use those products and are not familiar enough with anything to recommend. We stick to using Langlitz Leather Dressing for all of our leather and we find it delivers the most satisfactory results. Over 73 years of using the same product we can safely say it is the best option.
It’s tough to say what that residue might be or what’s causing it... but if you’d like to discuss anything in further detail please don’t hesitate to call the shop. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have and even look at pictures of your jacket via email and guide you in the right direction!

I have a leather jacket (Strelson) that has the collar darkened by neck sweat. While the jacket is cognac colorthe collar has become dark brown. So how can I actually clean the collar?
(I don't know what leather it is, it is not a particularily expensive jacket retail must have been under 500, but it is a thick leather that survived a bicycle crash with some very minor scratches.)
Will olive oil work to moisturize?
Is the leather jacket you were working on in the beginning a "finished" leather? Does conditioner still penetrate all finished leathers or with some does it just act like a polish over the top?
Please feel free to call or email the shop with any questions you may have.
Thank you.

Won't the oil from your hands get worked into the leather?
I’ve had a leather jacket for 4 years now, which sits in the closet most of the time. Should I still condition it although it’s still fairly new?

Just got my jacket and I'm trying to absorb as much info as I can
I should add that I just got my second jacket about a month ago 🙂
It was off your guys's shelves, and had been sitting there since 2014. But it's a full 10 pocket model, and I freaking love it!
Will mink oil be good for my black leather jacket ?
On some jackets it's fine but we never recommend this on our jackets. Mink oil contains fatty oils and acid that can deteriorate threads.

Saw a vid where a lady says to stretch your leather jacket, wash in a washing machine with only a fabric softener in the rinse cycle. Then, stretch while air drying. Fact or Fiction? Thx. (I ate too much, need a little more room. Ha!)

Hm, Aero advices against any kind of conditioning for their horse hide jackets for the first few decades of wear.
