I ordered a custom belt from Eric but needed it in less than a week. He was able to get everything finished in time and the price was reasonable too! He is super knowledgeable and makes high quality goods. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to buy good stuff and is willing too pay an appropriate price. read more

He has had our purse since June and keeps saying it is storage and giving us the run around. He is lying every time we call to get the purse. We will be filing a police report next week if is not able to return the purse. The work has also been paid for already as well. Would not reccomend to anyone. read more

Last Christmas, I went looking for a holster for a set of garden clippers to give as a gift. Most the hardware stores had a nylon or lower quality option, but it seemed a good opportunity to find something durable, aesthetically badass, and in support of local business. Puppy answered the call and finished the project on an accelerated timeline so I could get it under the tree in time. A lot of care went into the design (style, function, repairability) and I couldn't have been happier with the quality. There is something especially good to be found here. I'll be coming back for a guitar case down the road. read more

This guy is great. An artist. Loves what he does. Great value. Fair price. Good work.

Excellent place and fantastic workmanship! Puppie is a great guy and his shop is classic. He caters to military, LEOs, firefighters and other first responders. He resewed a leather name tag on my leather flight jacket on the spot and beautifully, even doing a tricky part so the liner inside can still zip in. He makes all kinds of custom upgrades. A classic cool character in a quirky, fun shop. Go there! read more

I hardly ever write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience I had today with Stonehedge Leather Company. First off, Eric is GOOD PEOPLE! I found this old wallet that my late mother owned when going thru all of her things. I hadn't seen it in years, last memory of it was her getting money out of it to buy TAB soda (Thats before Diet Coke came around) with it . I told him I needed to get a missing stud reinstalled so it would snap into the socket and keep the change pocket closed. Eric stopped what he was doing from beforehand and basically said to come back in ten minutes and it would be done.I came back to get it and he didn't charge me anything and even put some leather conditioner on it, giving it some new life! The wallet turned out great! Like I said Eric is good people and does great work. I highly recommend Stonehedge Leather Company!! read more

Needed to replace the velcro in my boxing gloves that were only a few months old. My girlfriend also needed the strap in her wallet fixed. He did a really good job. read more

This is a long overdue review. Eric is a wonderful human being, and I highly recommend him for all your leather repair needs! He will not only help you with what you ask for but will also find ways and give tips to keep your leather articles in excellent condition. Thanks Eric! read more

Guy who works here has zero % interest in actually helping his customers. Super condescending and rude. Called to see if they were open as their website suggested they were. Showed up and doors were locked. Over the phone he wanted to know exactly what I wanted and didn't want "lookieloo's" in his store because they waste over 20 hrs a week of his time. He has no interest in helping his customers. This guy is a prick.. Don't waste your time here. read more

Stumbled upon this leather shop as I was taking a stroll around the beach with my boyfriend one Friday afternoon. We saw that there were leather scraps for sale & a ton of other cool tools for sale so we walked right on in. Eric was amazingly friendly & we had a great conversation about the joys of artisan crafts + being an artist, free to create at will. I recently purchased a watch for myself but I have tiny kid-size wrists which makes finding a suitable watch that doesn't slide around quite difficult for me. So I figured why not see if I could get a hole punched while we were there. Eric said he didn't have the exact leather punch but could still make a new hole for me. Didn't look too noticeably different from the other holes on the strap & it made it 100x better for me to wear my watch! He also did this out of the kindness of his heart & out of the joy of getting to do a job he LOVES, so that was awesome! Drop by for all your leather inquisitions or just to have a great chat ;) Main takeaway: If you can visualize it, Eric can make it happen!! read more

Stonehedge Leather Co - Leather bands? Not sure what the terminology is for these but perfect for bracelets & crafting! - Leather Goods Near Me - San Diego, California

Horrible customer service. There were two people working and not paying any attention or acknowledging the four other people in the shop (myself included). The main guy (maybe the owner?) was busy chatting it up with another customer. I mean isn't it just common courtesy to at least say "hey" to anyone that walks in? Apparently not. He did end up barking orders to the other employee there to help the (happened to be a female, maybe his partner?) group that was there before me. But even she didn't even acknowledge me. Well, I don't see how anyone can stay in business when you give your customers the cold shoulder. read more

My husband wanted to emboss his wallet and after calling several places all over San Diego the gentleman at Stonehedge was finally able to help us & let me tell you he did a WONDERFUL JOB! My husband being super picky with his leather goods was beyond delighted with the way his wallet looked. I highly HIGHLY recommend this place we will definitely be going back with any other leather goodies we buy. read more

This last Halloween I wanted to make a chubaca costume for my dog( she's a goldendoodle so I only needed the sash),when to Stonehedge leather company and Eric totally took care of me. He taught me that if you can make it out of cardboard and tape ,you can make it out to of leather! Two days later my dog looked ready to ride shotgun in the Fulcon. If to have a project your thinking about starting, start here. read more

Stonehedge Leather Co - Hand made in 2 days. Very happy how it turned out, thanks Eric! - Leather Goods Near Me - San Diego, California

Eric made some really cool engraved flasks for my groomsmen and they turned out awesome. He is such a cool guy, very good at communication with the whole process and wants to make his customers satisfied. I would recommend anyone go to him and I will be back for sure whenever I need to get any type of leather engraved. Great work! read more

For San Diego I haven't been able to find a better selection of leather or leather working products. In a pinch you can get what you need. The employees there definitely know their stuff and customer service is king here. The verbiage that bounces around the store is not for the feint of heart however, which I find refreshing. Price is good, especially since there isn't much of a competition. If they don't have it, they can get it, but they usually have something that works. read more

Can't say enough about this business. My boyfriends late mother got him a gift certificate here back in 2015. We never got a chance to use it because we moved. On a visit back, we decided to stop in and have a new belt made. My boyfriend mentioned he wanted his moms initials on the belt and upon hearing the story, Eric dropped everything and put the belt together right in front of us and with us. He actually let my boyfriend stamp his moms initials himself. Eric is a very talented leather craftsmen and is very creative. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone! read more

From the moment I called Eric, I knew he was the guy to turn my unused crocodile purse strap into a belt. Friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Worked around the new environment COVID-19 has created and got the job done in only a few minutes. Highly recommended! read more

I bought a leather bag from a local shop, which was handmade in Mexico. Apparently, the bag was made using traditional curing methods because it smelled horrible. I tried leather cleaner, baking soda, and airing it out in the sun. But, alas, the poo smell would not go away. Luckily, w friend of mine recommended Eric at Stonehedge, and he did not disappoint. Eric knows his craft, and he was able to help bring my bag back to its full glory. I don't know how he did it, but the bag now smells like delicious, luxurious leather. His prices are reasonable, and he is really fun to talk to. Go see him for all your leather needs!! read more

I called and asked for a quote and he said to text him photos of what I was interested in. After texting photos and giving detailed info regarding the project - answering several questions and giving detailed responses - I asked for a ballpark estimate. Not a quote just a very general estimate of what it would cost. More like a range to gauge what it might cost. No reply. I texted again no reply. I called but was out on an eternal hold, left a message with his mom who works in the shop and she said he'd get back to me. Even stopped by the store and waited while he helped customer after customer but was never given the time of day. Guess he lost interest in the project or just didn't want the money badly enough. read more

If you need any sort of leather work done, particularly custom work, this is absolutely the place to go. I came in to get a custom leather belt done for my dad for Christmas. The owner did an amazing job, not only on the belt but also on working out the details and ideas for the belt to make it something unique and really special for my dad. read more

Eric was incredibly helpful & nice, I am a scout leader and needed a leather tag for a gift on super short notice. I called them because they are local and have been in OB forever plus an independent company, can't beat that. He was more than helpful, produced a beautiful leather tag with embossed writing. Couldn't be happier and plan to call him for any of our leather needs. Thank you! read more

GO HERE if you need anything related to leather done! I had a very special cow hide bracelet that was symbolic of my boyfriend passing away, and when I described what I wanted done with it to fit better Eric stayed late after the shop closed to get it done. It came out perfectly! He is incredibly kind and got the vision immediately, and you can tell he really cares about each project and knows what he's doing. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Excellent customer service. Beautiful belt made for a friend. Highly recommend treating yourself. Call the number in the door!

This guy does incredible work, ALTHOUGH unless you come in the door, kiss his ass, listen to his wanna-be Hawaiian bro talk, give him EXTREMELY specific directions, and have AT LEAST 3 months to wait for him to complete the job then IT'S ALL GOOD BRUDDDAAAHHH All my dealings with him have gone as this: You tell him what you want, he say's yeah it'll be about two weeks to a month then he calls you three months later and says: "Hey brudddaaahhh I finally got around to finishing your job (if he gets it right.) I've sent Eric so many customers bc my family ran a small business for 37 years and I honestly believe word-of-mouth is the best form of marketing, but I will NEVER and I mean NEVER give this guy my business again. He could care less about his customers needs unless they are doing him some sort of favor in return. You know you rub my back and I'll rub yours instead of just being an honest small business owner and doing his job in a timely fashion and not making false promises. Dudes a joke. read more

Intense guy who likes to talk about himself. However, this didn't bother me one bit. In fact, when it comes to leather workers, I want the craftsman to have an ego the size of a crater and the energy of Charlie Sheen on crack who is pumped up on winning juice. So I have this cool leather bracelet, and I wanted a 4-letter word engraved on it. No, not a naughty word! Rather, I wanted " S. P . Q. R ", which is the Roman word for Rome. I also wanted it done in the classic Roman font of the times. When I showed the big guy the font, he explained that it would be a custom job and run me $25 per letter. He explained that the font blocks they have are limited, and the only font they had on hand was the traditional western cowboy font that you see on tousirty leather wallets at gift shops in places like New Mexico. Obviously, this font would look lame on my bracelet, and I can't afford $100 on an engraving, so I was headed out the door. Before I could leave he gave me some advise on how I might be able to network and find someone who would do it cheaper. It was very nice of him to offer these ideas. I don't know if $25 per letter is expensive, as I have never priced this type of thing before. All i know is that it is too rich for my unemployed blood. I did see some custom work he did though, and it is very good. I mean, the guy is clearly a master of his craft. I wish he had the ability to do this work at a cheaper rathe though. I mean, tattoo artists would charge half or even less than half the price of doing 4 letters. I guess i don't see the difference in burning something into leather versus inking something onto skin with a needle gun. So to sum it all up, if you are looking for QUALITY work, and you have a lot of money to invest, I totally recommend this place for a job that will be well done. read more

OUTSTANDING!!!! I went in to Stonehedge this Tuesday with two leather jackets that needed leather patches sewn on and I got them back in less than two days! Amazing work! Eric is an absolute boss, he's very accomodating to the military community and loves us to death. He'll be more than happy to hook you up, both in getting the work done quickly and with the price. He even offered to do a special deal where he'll make the pockets on an aviator's brown leather jacket accessible to your hands. For those in the know, this is an absolute dream come true, and I will go back to get that done on my jacket. Don't go anywhere else for leather work, this place is where it's at! read more

Eric Is the best. I bought a fanny pack from him 20 years ago and it developed a small hole which he fixed expertly. He is friendly, professional, efficient and timely. I highly recommend him. read more

Looks like a cool place. Too bad I was limited to the closed door and misleading "open hours" sign. Apparently open 10am until 6pm Tuesday - Saturday means closed at 2pm Saturday . At least there is lots of stuff to do near by! read more

I came into this weird little leather shop on the beach after being recommended by a leather craftsman. After entering the weathered establishment I was greeted by Eric sitting in the back working on a leather item and told him I wanted to make a leather accessory. He asked if I had a design... I said no. I was immediately told I either needed to create a design myself and then come back or pay him to help me. I felt little intimidated and not welcome. But then I met "Ma". Ma generously showed me around and went through all the different types of leathers on hand (all different kinds and colors) and showed me pics of previous designs. After being showed around by Ma and talking again to Eric I came back with my design and Eric help me create a one of a kind design with expert craftsmanship and did it rush in less than 4 days. If you go in wanting a piece made by him, come in with AT LEAST some sketches or better yet design it yourself with felt instead of leather and bring that in (that's what I did). After getting to know Eric and his abilities I am definitely coming back for a custom wallet at the very least. read more

I had a great experience at this shop. The guy was very nice and the shop is really cool. He does great work, I highly recommend!

About a month ago, I stopped in to have an extra hole punched into my leather belt. The big guy came out from behind the work bench popped a couple in and handed it back to me and smiled....I looked at him and asked how much? "nothing" he said, "just enjoy your day"......he and the buffalo make me smile every time I come in for some help. You guys are great! I am hear to remind ya'all support this small business in the neighborhood! read more

I had a belt custom made several years ago for a friend. I drove way out to this little shop & the guy was super helpful and went over all the options with me. I paid a couple hundred for the belt & left. I came back a few weeks later with my friend - he had no idea what I had bought. I inquired about a blank belt that was on display & the guy threw it in for free. My friend loved his belt & how awesome it came out. He wore it almost everyday for years & it held up beautifully - you can still see the intricate carving in it. Sadly, it's now been retired, but kept as a cherished momento. Good to see these guys are still in business! read more

This Mom & Pop-style establishment will meet all your leather needs. It's nice to be able to deal with an expert and true professional in any craft when there seems to be a shortage of trade skills in the world. When you want something done right you go to someone who is passionate and takes pride in their work, and that person is Eric. Other businesses take note. I recommend this place to all my friends and will continue to be a repeat customer here for their outstanding service, products, and knowledge. read more

This place is as legit as it gets. I called last minute to emboss a leather journal for my girlfriend and the man helped me out. He not only had exactly what I wanted, but he helped me design it. Not just..."hey man, that would look good right there..." but, asked me about her personality and gave me the great ideas. Girlfriend loved it. I will go back there if I EVER need anything done with leather, hands down. read more

My husband and I stopped here two years ago right before we moved out of the area and had a great experience! Eric is kind, knowledgeable and was really helpful. We were interested in making leather thumb rings for archery and called the shop up. Eric asked us to come by in a couple of days so he could do some research about how they were made. When we went in, he was kind enough to take about an hour of his time to show us how to make the thumb rings and what materials we'd need. Thank you again Eric for all your help! :) read more

Eric the owner was super helpful sourcing what I needed to finish up a project for my kid. I had him build me a leather harness for a rocking horse I made. Turned out perfect. Highly recommend this business to anyone with leather needs. read more
