Amazing local craftsman. After winning a pair of his Italian leather suspenders that he donated to…read morethe Charlottesville Ballet Academy silent auction I had to meet this guy. He was extremely accommodating and ready for all of my outlandish ideas. After having leather added to the hem of my carhartt overalls by him I got a second pair of suspenders in black. I needed an awesome gift for my girlfriend and he worked with me to design and make a custom leather pouch worn like a fanny pack. Nicest guy ever. I only wish I was still in Charlottesville to have him make me a custom fit pair of jeans. If you want to look good in your clothes. Go see Coogan!!

I love Tanner's Alley. The staff that work there are really nice and I have been very pleased with…read moretheir work. Recently, I took my purse there to see if they could repair the handles. It was an already distressed leather, but from use, the leather on the handles started to wear too thin. They completely remade new handles and it looks better than the original! I purchased a leather bag from this store to carry my laptop in 2003. I still use the bag for work currently (not for carrying my laptop, but other heavy/bulky items) and I still get compliments on it. It was clearly very high quality considering I've beaten it up for over a decade! I would definitely recommend this store!

Very upset. That's…read moreright; I'm very upset. I'm upset because I can only give this company 5 stars! They deserve a minimum of 10 stars. The quality of their workmanship is second to none, whether they are building something new or repairing old shoes. The owner, Charlie, is very friendly and willing to spend as much time with you as you need. Even the young woman at the counter is very courteous and friendly. Overall, all my interactions at Tanner's have been a 10-star experience. Review by "Ralph" aka: Roy frim Glenville

This new sling, by far, is the best sling I have ever put on one of my rifles. The craftsmanship with the added leather padding, smooth stitching, debossed lettering and thickness of the leather makes this well made sling a bargain for the price.

I have had nothing but fantastic experiences here, even though I bring some unique requests in. Mr. Moon somehow knows what I'm trying to request, writes my ticket up (yes, writing up tickets lacks in 21st century tech...guess what? Leather work is an age old trade and written tickets have no bearing on the product) , asks if the amount is ok (I'm looking at you "lil miss thing' who thinks she can negotiate bc "it's just one zipper"...if it were 2+ you'd be been charged more), gives me a completion date (usually beats it), and delivers exactly what I'm looking for. Exceptional service, all the way around. I wish this review was as delightful as my interactions with Mr. and Mrs. Moon...however, a couple of pretentious reviewers struck a nerve with me. A little advice: instead of letting 15mins of waiting or the price being more than what you think it should be, be appreciative of the opportunity to patronize two of the hardest working people in RVa. I had to wait a few minutes one time, so I asked Mr. Moon what his story was....those few minutes (extended out of desire) were worth a 5 star review alone...the craftsmanship and fair prices put the tally above what Yelp will allow.
