Tandy Leather Factory

Sounds like Tandy benefits from a group of competent and pleasant managers and staff. I'd like to recommend the Richmond, VA store -- Deb and Sharon are great.

I live in the NW WA area and have to travel about an hour to get to the local tandy either on the seattle side or in tacohma. Both are decent shops with good selection. The managers at both seem to know what they are talking about and are very friendly. I havnt had any issues.

I go only about once a month or so so I can pick out the leather I want.

My only gripe is there seems to be alot of old leather that sits there for a long time, both with the working leather and with the leather lacing and such. However if you can get there toward the beginning of a shipment when they stock up for a sale you can find some pretty good leather. Plus nothing beats being able to look thru and find what you want instead of waiting for the serprise from the web lol.

Ill keep shopping at tandy, maybe not for everything in the future but Ill keep going back.

The Roy Utah store and staff are great. I think tandy did it right, as it seems most, if not all staff have the leather addiction like us, which makes for good sales and pleasant informed conversation. The only downside in my opinion is, they should carry some higher quality stuff like custom tools ( I hear rumors that the craftool stamps may be getting reworked) and sometimes the leather ain't so great.

Even though I live in Wisconsin, I usually give Clay Miller a call at the Rapid City, S.D. store a call. He always gets 2 thumbs up from me for excellent service. Kudos to you, Clay!

The same goes out to Tandy Leather in Indy. I am just beginning my leatherworking journey and they were very helpful and above all patient. A real encouragement to a newbie to have so many helpful people out there.

I agree that the guys at Charlotte, SC are great. I've started mail ordering from them; I also like the Raleigh crew.

I've gotten all of my leather and 99% of my tools from the Cleveland store on Pearl near Brook Park Rd. They've been quite helpful for me as a beginner. I plan to buy my first good piece of leather rather than a remnant from them soon.

I like the East Hartford TLF they have always treated me fair, and Bruce stocks a lot of quality leather and ships overseas. granted I am only about 1 and a half miles from the store.
