Langlitz Leathers

2443 SE Division St., 503-235-0959, langlitz.com. Closed Saturday-Sunday.

Founded by motorcycle racer Ross Langlitz in 1947, not much has changed in this custom leather shop and shrine to motorcycle culture. Langlitz modified a leather flight jacket to wear riding his bike. That model, the "Columbia," is still Langlitz's best-selling jacket.
