Tandy Leather Factory

I’ve been a Tandy’s Leather costumer for three decades. I moved from Oklahoma four years ago and am just getting started again with my artwork. Today was my first visit to this store. Its layout is much better that the store in Oklahoma City. The sales folks answered all my questions and pointed me to items that saved me a bunch.
I’ve read that their prices are high. If you are just purchasing a few items or a one time purchase, then yep. But if this is your hobby or they are your supplier, then you’ll want to become a member. The prices come down with each increased level (I believe there’s three). I went ahead and joined today and saved $ 20 on my first purchase.
I have a ton of ideas that I can’t wait to jump into and these folks are making it happen!
Thanks Tandy

Google so wisely steered me in the direction of Tandy Leather.
Needed to get a new pair of soles for my dance shoes so I was looking for something super awesome to stick to the bottoms.
I honestly didn’t know what I was looking for, wandering lost around the random cow hides and sheep hides and whatever hides there seemed to be. I’m not a big leather knowledge holder, so you can imagine I was wondering around for some time. Fortunately a kind lady came to the rescue, I told her my dilemma and she steered me in the right direction.
I’ll be sure to come here for more dance sole purposes.
**BTW for anyone who might swing dance, I purchased the «SINGLE SHOULDER» which was priced at $ 29.99 and will easily cover more than three pairs of shoes.

I had very good service and the selection is nice. I needed rivets and shears. The only issue was how pricey they were and that process are not displayed. 2 bags of rivets, a riveting tool and the shears cost me 100 bucks. But the quality I got was good.

Unfortunately It wouldn’t let me give NO stars so please minus one star from my review
Rude workers, Horrible costumer service!!! I was looked at when I walked in but not acknowledged, the costumer that walked in after me was promptly greeted and assisted by more then one worker… while I was still being ignored! I wanted to walk out and take my money to Tandy leather in seattle but really needed a tool and was not up for driving from Tacoma to seattle during rush hour so I took the tool to the register and waited to be checked out… And waited, was looked at … And waited … Then finally she came very Rudely to check me out. I will never return to the Tacoma store ever …

I have to say that I always spend more money here than I initially intended. The store is layed out in a way that is it super easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Plus there is always something new that I just have to have.
The owner is almost always there and always very freindly and can answer just about any question you may have in regards to leahterworking.
In addition, the two girls that work there are both very knowledgeable and always seem happy to be at work and always very helpful.
The whole staff has a way of pointing out sale items and specials (and tandy always has sales and specials going on) in a way that is informative and not trying to push things on you. I used to go to a different Tandy store when I lived in another location where the same guy was always working and couldn’t seem to be bothered to move himself from behind the counter. Not true at this location.
All the folks working at this store are always moving, always helping and always working.
the overall selction in the store is good and I very rarely cannot find something I am looking for. My only complaint (and it is a very minor one) is that the classes offered are to me, quite expensive. I will say that I have not taken one yet so the value may be there. I will try it out and report back and gladly retract that complaint.
