@@langlitz1658 can I wash my white riding leather jacket with mild baby shampoo or detergent soaked in a bucket of room temp. water to get rid off of smell/dirt/dust specially the inner liner I think needs wash but it’s attached. Please advise, thanks for your video tho..
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! 503-235-0959 - Bennie
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.
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

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.)
Sir, I'm from india I want to buy a good quality biker leather jacket would you be suggest which quality of leather is best cow hide or buffalo nd what the thickness of better for this one??
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?
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! - Bennie Langlitz Leathers Shop Number (503) 235-0959
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!

Worth watching just for the hair dryer tip!
I have goat skin, is the dressing care the same?

How about how to stop bleeding? I see lots of acrylic sealants but I want a matte finish
Won't the oil from your hands get worked into the leather?
is there any way to get the black coating back on the leather if in many area's it is worn to the tan?
