Any Reliable Canadian Retailers?

Recommended Posts

I have looked at tandy, but a lot of their products are marked up by 50-150% compared to other retailers like Springfield (customer service haven't sent me a reply on a few questions I had). Are there any fellow Canadians that know of any shops that sell leather tools and leather at a reasonable cost.

Where are you located?

There might be a bricks and morter store nearby.

I live in the greater toronto area. I found zackwhite.com and think they should work for what I'm looking for. If u have any mortar shops that you know of I'd be happy if you would share them.

It really isn't in your neck of the woods, but I went here a few times:

They are more geared towards commercial clients (i.e. cobblers and such), but the two times I went there they were pretty nice folks.

Any out west? Specifically the Edmonton region, although Calgary is doable for me as I get down there every few months.

I can vouch for Don at Longview (and now Caledon). Great customer service and very knowledgeable. Very good prices too.

Tandy is okay in a pinch.

I had a terrible experience with Lonsdale leather on Vancouver. Do not recommend them, which is unfortunate since they are so close to me.
