I would not claim to be Steve's 1st customer, nor to know him well. I am 90 yo and was given the…read moregift of a custom pair of sandals when he was on Euclid a very long time ago. I am probably among his first customers, when he had the Euclid shop. This was in the hey days of the CWE, Flamingo Cafe, Europa, Balaban's, Culpepper's and others. I wanted a sandal with no back strap and with Steve's input, I got my first pair of custom sandals. The toe strap finally broke, and an identical new pair was purchased when the shop was on Delmar. The third pair was purchased while he was in Belleville. I wore and still wear these sandals virtually every day that the weather allows. Cheaper, accepted by the masses, but classless, flip-flops have never had a place in my closet. I don't need new sandals, but I need Steve's skill to see if he can salvage a Mary Francis purse in which the "leather" shoulder strap, cracked, peeled, chipped and is unusable, as it is. I believe anything that you buy from Steve will be as well made and your experience will make you believe that there are still people who don't accept mediocrity in their products.

S-T Leather is the only real leather working supply company in town. It is not a crafts store,…read morealthough crafters could certainly benefit from its very reasonable pricing. S-T leather has an entire building filled with drum-oil-dyed, chrome-dyed, and veg-tan leathers. There is also every kind of leatherwork hardware imaginable. Best of all, there is the owner who is always helpful with suggestions on leather choices for a project. You might find a neat, tidy, sterile retail store with unhelpful retail staff to your liking. But when you need bulk leather, good advice, great pricing and very personal service...there is no better place in St Louis than S-T.

American made clothing is seeing a comeback! Entrepreneurs are stepping up and networking with…read moreother like minded Americans who want to craft our own clothing like we've done in what now seems like our rather distant past. The owner of The Crimson Serpent is extremely knowledgeable and knows about every single item in his store, where it's made, how it's made and what it's made with along with the machinery and families that made it! The quality of the products speak for themselves. You can actually smell the quality as soon as you enter the building. From the denims to the leathers, you will not be disappointed. The Crimson Serpent has various weights from 10.5 - 21 ounce denims and you can feel the quality; from the durability in the materiel itself down to the selvedge stitching. Other various stitches are available which provide longevity and personality to your attire - that you will not find in a shopping mall or even Nordstroms. Also available are cuts and designs made in Japan, Europe and Canada. All great quality. If you are looking for American made clothing and understand how that benefits your fellow American, and truly saves you money in the process (you don't have to replace this stuff nearly as often as the Chinese, Taiwan, etc. sweat-shop clothing) then you will definitely want to check out Crimson Serpent Outpost.
