Mac Pherson Leather Co

a rare gem in the heart of Seattle and light-years more special than shopping at the chain-stores of Tandy leather. This is a true leather-workers paradise. All the tools, hardware (especially for shoes and bags!), new leather by the hide, plus the biggest treasure-trove of scrap leather I've ever found outside New York. I love that they're so responsible with keeping leather in the supply chain to be upcycled into something new:, down to it's tiniest scrap, it's a rarity in this industry. In fact, I hesitate to share this, as I love their plentiful supply of inspiring leather scrap to design with. But their customer service rules, and I would probably shrivel up and die if they ever went out of business. lol.

This is a real deal leather craft store. They sell leathers, tools, dyes, cleaners, paints, hardware, etc. They also sell full hides in various forms. Definitely worth visiting.

The kind of place that Amazon can't replace. Like most other crafts, leather work is probably a dying art. But if you need any type of leather or associated tools/ supplies, this is a great place to get it. Great selection of leather from all types of animals and some furs. Prices seemed reasonable. Classic old warehouse with the retail shop in the SW corner. I parked right out front. Helpful and friendly attendants.

An amazing resource! I do some hobby leatherwork. This is the place to go for leather, hardware, and tools. They have a great selection of high quality items. I prefer to shop at a brick and mortar store for these things. I like to see the size and quality of the items in person before I buy.

Meh, you either shop here or at Tandy, at least at Tandy they're friendly and helpful. We tried for two years to set up a business account and they kept "losing" the paperwork. It's not the best organized place, the leather is usually pretty expensive as are the tools. They aren't bad at what they do but they definitely come across as viewing walk in traffic as not their primary business and that's too bad.

Huge stock and they can order whatever you need. Very friendly and helpful staff

I was sent here by a very well respected leather tailor in Seattle to match a fine deerskin coat that my dogs had chewed up. The coat was the only thing I had left from my father so I wanted to repair it properly. I know nothing about leather and trusted the sales person to match the grade and color. color liked fine to me. I paid $100 which is about what the tailor told me to expect for a high quality hide. When I brought the hide to the tailor, she was sickened by how badly I'd been scammed. She said they had sold me craft deerskin with holes, blotches, and scratches. She could barely find enough skin to even replace a single panel. ( I had bought the hole hide because I had planned to replace two panels.) She also said definitively that a hide of grade 3 craft skin like the one I'd been sold shouldn't cost more than $25. I live very far away and can't get back to the store and I need the coat for a family reunion next week. The manager was not at all helpful and refused to refund even a part of my money. I feel cheated and victimized. This store obviously doesn't care about customers and quality of products or services. Caveat emptor!

I've only been once and I know nothing about leather work. That said, the person working was helpful and friendly. I went in looking for sturdier studs than I was finding on eBay. I believe I will be satisfied with my purchases.
