This made me laugh. Thanks.

Let's see some pics of these legendary Langlitz leathers.

 

Great picture! I've known that guy (standing next to the cow) my entire life! To give you an idea of the steer's size, Joe is 6'+!

 

Langlitz is the only leather you have to include in your will to keep peace in the family after you are dead and gone.

Congratulations on the purchase. Not a lot of people will agree with spending that much money, but it's your money and it's your jacket. If I lived in the US I would take a road trip, on my bike of course, to get a Langlitz jacket. Ride safe brother.

 

LMAO, I'm with you on this. I don't care how abrasive resistant it is, my wife would have no problem tearing through it to get to me if I spent $1400 on a jacket.

 

If you are r-e-e-e-a-lly worried about protection - drive a cage. Sheesh!

Man! For that kind of coin I hope you got the meat too!

 

$1400 on a jacket? I have a sister-in-law that spent $1600 on a kitchen faucet. Makes your jacket look very sensible to me.

 

I thought I was bad when I bought a HD FGRX jacket that was in the $500 range on sale. I actually bought a $150-$200 River Road at the same time just to have both at home at the same time to compare. Wound up returning the HD jacket. It had a few more bells and whistles than the RR but in the important areas like the thickness of the leather the RR was at least the equal of the HD FGRX and it fit me better also. Still very happy with it. It is super warm with the liner in even in the coldest weather and is comfortable in warm (to about 60-65) with the sleave zippers open and the front partially open as long as you are moving. 70 and up to about 85 usually go with the Joe Rocket mesh/armor jacket. Above 85-90 just a t-shirt but I feel like I'm being a little stupid.
