Standing Bear's Trading Post is a small legacy business that has been selling leathercraft supplies and teaching people since 1999. It is a one of a kind shop where you can find amazing quality leather and hard to find tools, with extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful people. The staff is always easy to work with. Custom leatherwork is handcrafted by an Al Stohlman Award recipient with over 40 years of experience, whose work exceeds expectations and turns ideals into artwork. The business offers a comprehensive six-month class with great instruction and guidance that is so informative and engaging, perfect to kickstart a leathercraft journey. Customers are unwilling to go anywhere else, preferring to support this small business over any large corporation for all their leather supply needs.
I miss Wayne and Sandy. I've had 4 grandchildren since and life gave me a busy schedule. Would love to retake the classes. Wayne is a great teacher and Sandy is also a kind gracious teacher. Love Emi

What an amazing experience!! Amazing customer service!! I went in to get some leather to make my own travelers notebook, and left more knowledgeable than I went in. They even have classes. Such sweet folks. Thank you Wayne and Sandy !! ❤❤
