My first Langlitz was an unclaimed one that someone had made and never picked up, medium weight dk. brown plain Cascade with pleats on the back and plain straight zip up the front.

Fit like a glove, went down at the dragstrip, slid about 700 ft. on my back, major rash, no burn through, could not tell a thing from the front.

Paid $175 for it, sold on efbay for $225 + ship after the slide.

Had a new one made then, can't imagine having one made now.
