Hh

Thats my custom langlitz the day i got it. Its a brute. It will stand up on its own. The quilted areas arent just stitched detail, thats double thick leather. Used one of their base designs and customized some. That belt is thicker than my galco holster belt.

was literally just joking about these in the sporty forum. super high quality, but, the leathermen love them a bit too much.

Ya what can you do. The non riding jackets are cut different than ones for riding anyway.

do these guys even ride, or do they just cruise?

They love Wesco boots as well...definitely know quality leather.

My experience: I recently bought a Willie G Harley jacket from one of the guys on this very forum. It is a really nice jacket, made in USA and in excellent condition. It is just a little smaller than I would have liked. I would not buy another jacket without trying in on first; remembering that it is now August and in cold weather more clothes will probably be inside. I am on the cusp between large and x-large, hard to fit. Not good for on-line orders.

Found this old post about Willie G Jackets. Did something change, and they are now made in the USA, or are the components sent to China and returned as a jacket?

It's kind of tough because we are part of a global economy. Still, when my Willie G. jacket says "Made in China" I wonder ..

Fortunately, I've got a spiffy Vanson jacket for when I ride the Sporty. So, I can pose with Willie in China and ride with USA leather"
