The absolute best belts. Ever. The people who work here are awesome, at all levels!…read more I've had to have belts repaired a few times over the years, and it's always been done free of charge. The only time this wasn't a quick fix was when my phone number wasn't taken down incorrectly - my buckle was fixed and ready for pickup well before had I just called. Yes, their products cost more than something from many (definitely not all) brands - but you're getting the highest quality product!

Turns out it was actually made in China, which was not readily apparent at time of purchase. They use terms like "expert artisans around the world" rather than explicitly stating the country of origin. If I'm spending $100 for a wallet, I think I deserve to know where it was made.

What a bonus it is to have this shop right in town. For folks that work in leather or makers that…read morewant a leather bit, or to add some flare to a case, this is where you want to go! Lots of tools and leather instock. Exotic skins all the way to 1/4" bullhide, and a wall of pre-cut projects to do with kids, adults, and for yourself. The hardware wall is well stocked, but the staff really stand out. Friendly and helpful every time I go in. Never have I had someone look at me like an idiot of dismiss a newbie question. They have helped select cuts and leather types for specific projects and have talked my out of a few things that may not have had the desired outcome. Prices are the same as on-line, but there are in-store sales and no shipping. being able to use a stamp or a tool before you buy it is really helpful and limits the waste of buying something that turns out too small or too big or not right that sits in the stamp caddy forever unused.

I did not get my boots back for 5 months. 5 MONTHS. This was an incredibly time sensitive project I needed done and this place absolutely s*** the bed. I was hoping that they may be a good, local alternative to other boots repair options but unfortunately I cannot recommend that anybody use their services, in fact I insts that you do not.

So this is weird…read more There's now a little leather goods shop on Van Buren, right behind Blair Alley Arcade. They sell three categories of leathery: 1. Wallets and check book covers 2. Pocket belts (fanny packs?) and pocket holsters 3. Sculpet upper head masks So that last one is a sculpted and fanciful piece that you wear on your forehead above your brow. It may have flowers or horns on it. Think of this for your next visit to Faerieworlds or maybe to make a big, fun statement when you meet your friends for a beer down at a Whiteaker brewery. I think it would look amazing on Angelina Jolie as Maleficent or Cate Blanchett as Hela in Thor: Rangcock. That would be something.

Good men's apparel shop, good selection of brands and excellent customer service! This is something…read morethat is lacking in some other high end men's clothing shops on the W coast! Had a great experience here yesterday (Monday Oct 26) and as someone who worked in retail customer service for over 15 years the manager working today was excellent. He helped a gentleman from DC find an outfit his wife wanted him to wear at the same time helping me find a great shirt from a brand I love that is hard to find at retail shop. Thank you Porterhouse for having a retail store where I can try things on from men's brands that are timeless! Please support and buy from your local (or as local as you can get) retail shop! Without retail we have no more try on before you buy! Buy right buy once, harder to do online! Thanks for the experience!

They tried to be helpful but I had no receipt because the people that gave it to me lived in another country. The point is they may be a good company but the product should have lasted more than 2 months with normal use. Check who is making what you buy and if possible keep the receipt, especially if it is spirit leather.
