When it comes to leather goods Leo is the man to see. I brought him my 20-year-old Shirling jacket…read morethat needed some repairs. Not only did Leo amazingly fix those repairs but a couple of others we talked about together. And I could swear we never talked about he just found and fixed. My jacket is back in great condition. I had a little hole on the sleeve, where a fence or something have snagged me, the string to one of the pockets was broken and the zipper inlay, we're a little loose due to previously being fixed somewhere else a long time ago. I couldn't be happier Leo fixed the jacket up great . Leo is the best. I have been back to Leo with some other leather good, belts and a satchel. I got some leather conditioner from him and learned a little bit about taking care of my leather goods. If You need a leather item fixed or you're looking for a leather coat Leo is definitely the man to see! His prices are unbeatable, great value.

It was a rainy and kinda slick trip along LSD but I figured it would be worth it as their reviews seemed favorable. The hours posted on the website were 1-6pm. I was ten minutes early. I parked in front and waited. 1pm. The gates stay closed and locked, the shop lights remained dark. 1:10...1:15...1:30pm and no life was stirring in the shop. I look hard through the continuing downpour at the window and I see paper taped inside. I get out and DAMN! (*see picture attached*) The website made no mention of 'on-line service only'. Now I know. And now YOU know too. Not really gonna trust a shop that keeps their website up leading customers to believe they're open when they know darn well they aren't. Moving on..

My family has made return trips to this store for over 20 years. It's not a fancy store, but it's…read morepacked with so much and there's a large variety of leathers - coats, vests, suits and jackets. They specialize in custom-wear so naturally being a dressy connosier, I took a shot for my cousin's wedding dress being custom made since I have bought numerous leather items from them in the past (but never in clothing). Abe, helped us understand the dress making process; informing us about the different designs, handwork and fabrics. 3 weeks go by and I got the call that the dress has had arrived. I must say I am very much impressed not only with the quality but that I only paid $650 dollars out the door. I wish them success in their new venture and will recommend to anyone in Chicago looking for custom dresses, bridesmaid dresses and even bridal gowns!

I got an amazing tour by Curtis, who showed me each floor and all the procedure from cured hides, to tanning, to the final excellent product that has been so prestigious in the world since 1905! Very grateful for having the opportunity of meeting Armold Horween Jr. and his son Nick Horween, who was the actual person that decided to let me in with no appointment! Will be purchasing Horween leathers only from now on, through their representatives in California. Definitely recommend it now and always!

Not only was it fixed perfectly, the second time, but I wasn't even charged to reclean the spot, as they had a lot of work to bring it back to its original look.

I mailed Without a Trace a leather jacket from Overland that suffered damage from a leak from my…read morecloset's ceiling. It looked stained, dirty and the leakage caused it to harden and loose its leather suppleness. Without a Trace was able to restore it, restrain it, remove the stains and hydrate it. The jacket turned out a bit darker than my original but the new color was beautiful and even, and most importantly the stitching in the jacket remained lighter which continued to give the jacket definition and an edge. I am very happy they were able to save my jacket. They do great work, came highly recommended and certainly didn't disappoint!

Another Great Vest From Victory Leathers!…read more I joined American Veterans Motorcycle Riders Association and needed to get a new vest. My first vest I bought from here was a great deal so, my new vest had to come from Victory Leathers. I had picked it out online. Called Eddie to make sure they had one. I drive over 70 miles one way is the reason for calling. The first one I wanted was a bit tight. No problem, Eddie had a size bigger. I bought the, "Leather Vest with Buffalo Nickle Snaps", and love it. Eddie sewed on 13 patches of various sizes. It was around 11:45 when I got there and finished the complete sale and headed home around 12:25. Thank you again for doing another great job for me.
