I was sold a shoulder of veg tan that had been treated with formaldehyde and not properly gassed out. I would not have come to this store if I had known they were ok with poisoning their customers.I compared their leather to some samples from other suppliers and found that it gassed off what is very likely formaldehyde FAR more than the control group or the tested samples. I will update after the VOC testing kit gets in.Buyer beware, the leather sold here is not prepared safely for unprotected use.

Nice shop. The best part is the customer service! Steven is amazing! He took the time to answer all of my questions. He gave me suggestions on getting started. He even gave me a hands on stitching tutorial. I can’t say enough good things about the experience I had there. I will definitely be going back for all of my leather needs.

It's been since before the pandemic that over been in the store. We went in today and the store looks amazing! Totally reorganized. So much easier to find things and much bigger leather selection. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Logan is doing a great job managing this store. I'll be back soon!

Mike is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and approachable. Most of of the staff seems to be nice also however the taller- bald man not so friendly and doesn't seem to be happy at work. Mike will be the reason for us going back for his wonderful customer service!

This lovely room of death has everything you need to make your next leather project. From domestic to exotics, Tandy's selection is the best in PDX. Even found reindeer here once! Plenty of tools, thread, and hardware to get you started or complete whatever you dream up. Some good seasonal sales as well!

I just had a PHENOMENAL experience on my first visit to Tandy Leather! Spencer was SO kind and so helpful. I came before an errand I had to run, and then came back after because the encouragement I got was enough to push me to get the rest of the supplies I needed. I wasn't sold on anything I didn't need, but encouraged to get helpful supplies and given recommendations on quality but affordable products. I came away from my visit feeling confident I could start the hobby I've been dreaming about for months. I left with helpful, necessary supplies and a few fun things (glow in the dark thread??? YES please!). I'm really looking forward to getting the hang of this, and I will DEFINITELY be coming back! Thanks for all of the help!

While the shop seemed to be well stocked, it seemed that the discussion of weapon crafts and zombie apocalypse was more important that the two customers who were clearly wanting to do husiness and put money into the till. My wife and I are just starting up a crafting business and we're scouting local vendors. The fact that the customer went unacknowledged was quite off-putting. We put our product back and left. Perhaps another day we will try them again when we do not have to compete with chatting.Revision after another try:We gave the shop another shot. I am glad that we did as we had a much better experience. There was more staff on hand. We were welcomed inside and allowed to wander a bit before being checked on. The timing was perfect thus avoiding that hovering feeling. We explained what we were wanting to do and got skilled guidance in the products that we needed to use to beat the project.Now the ball is in my court, but I am sure that we have a local leatherworking goods vendor to lean on.
