drphil Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Hi all, I have finished my education at Iowa State University and found a new job. I am moving to Mississippi at the end of July and am interested to know what the leather scene is like down there. Local stores, guilds etc. I will be in Brandon which is 10 miles from Jackson. I am hoping there are some leather shops nearby. Any info about leatherworking in Mississippi would be great. I was able to find a couple of places on the internet that say Tandy used to have a store in Pearl, but it is not listed on their website. Maybe they have closed up shop in Pearl.

radar67 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 I live 60 miles south of Jackson. Closest Tandy store to me is New Orleans, LA. To the best of my knowledge, there are no leather working stores in MS. I have not found a local guild or club either. I think there is a Tandy in Birmingham, AL as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
