Take one look at these leather bags and you'll be hooked. We were in Missoula for a few days over…read morethe summer and happened upon the owner / designer / creator at a downtown street market. Mrs. G scanned the inventory and immediately plucked one off the rack and bought it on the spot. As we traveled south in the Rockies and west to California she has gotten a lot of compliments everywhere she goes. I did not buy one over the summer but wished that I had. You see, I use a laptop and its nice to have a quality bag to carry it around. We happened to be back in Missoula over the winter and I had to check out the shop. He make about four different shaped leather bags and one fits a laptop perfectly. Purchased and happy. The bags are heavy duty, attractive, handmade and every one is different. The owner is one of the friendliest people you will meet. A natural people person without any sales push - all the qualities of a natural salesman.

I took a pair of ropers to him for repair a few weeks ago - he said they would be ready the following Tuesday. I showed up to hear "Oh, they're not done yet". I said, "Gas is money" as in I just made a trip downtown for nothing. So, he called on Friday to say they were done; unfortunately I was busy and couldn't go in that day. Drove there this morning - he was not open! His hours online say he's open - tried to call, no answer, mailbox is full, can't leave a message. Ugghhhh! Totally unprofessional.

I'm a long-time customer who has watched this shop change under new ownership, and the decline is…read morehard to ignore. The operation now appears to rely on a very small group of experienced technicians to carry an increasingly unstable workforce. Errors are routinely corrected by the same people, productivity is concentrated in a few hands, and the business continues to profit because of that imbalance--not because it has been fixed. What stands out most is the widening gap between how the business is doing and how the people doing the work appear to be treated. While the shop expands, remodels, and presents itself as thriving, there is visible burnout, constant turnover, and little indication that long-term skill, loyalty, or institutional knowledge are being valued in meaningful ways. Skilled trades are not interchangeable. When compensation and working conditions fail to reflect the revenue those skills generate, it eventually shows--in morale, in consistency, and in customer trust. As a customer, I was also uncomfortable with the lack of professionalism in the front office. Attention didn't always seem to be on service or vehicles, which is not the environment most people expect when dropping off their car. This business used to feel like it understood that employees and their families are part of its foundation. That understanding seems to be gone. Until ownership demonstrates that it values the people who actually generate its success--not just the appearance of success--I would advise customers to proceed with caution and ask very direct questions about who is responsible for the work on their vehicle. Loyalty can't be demanded. It has to be earned--and maintained.

Absolutely terrible service. I picked up my car last December after front end damage that exceeded…read more$11,000.00.

The…read morestaff here are all veteran boot fitters who are more than happy to talk about what problems you have with your feet and what can be done to help. Griz boot is the place to go to get Whites or Hawthorn boots -- they'll measure up your feet order boots for two different size feet and sell you a pair of boots that might take a month to break in, but they will very truly last you an entire lifetime. (With a few sole replacements). And when I say two different sizes I don't mean just the number, I have two different number size boots that were also made to different widths, they don't have just a few widths, they have them all, and will help you figure out what you SHOULD have been wearing your whole life. Sure they're a bit expensive, but it's not because they're trendy, it's because they're quality. I bought a pair on recommendation from the loggers and fire fighters that i worked with, and have more than once since been told that owning a pair of whites or hawthorns is a marker of a man's character and work ethic. I used to think men don't pay attention to shoes, but apparently some do to work boots. So if those are the kinds of boots that you're looking for, this is the best place to buy them in the entire state of Montana, and that's not my opinion, it's a well known fact.

Now three years later and after thousands of miles on them, they again were able to re-sole them and again, the work is excellent and the turn around time about 2 weeks. I live in Phoenix, AZ and it's worth it to send these to Missoula. A fine price, quick turn around and excellent workmanship it doesn't get any better than that.
