oregon leather co.

I've been in bed for almost a week now and let me tell you, I am DYING! I can't believe this shet. Luckily I got most of my Christmas shopping done three days before I succumbed to this 'weakness of the will,' as ADAM put it, and my list of 10 stores just happened to include this wonderful wonderland:


I LOVE this place. The first time I ever came here was with Josh, he needed to get some nice black leather for a work project (or was it suede?). I could not believe my eyes or nostrils. Leather, suede, hides, you name it- a first floor full of dead animal goodness- and a top floor to outfit your horse friend in the finest. This place smells so good you guys. I'm a sucker for that rich, musky leather smell.



Piles of skin, and rabby furs, too!


You read it right, BELLIES.




The saddle room. Who let that lil pony loose?!



Can you believe it? Fuckin' reindeer, y'all.



I know this says 'seat cover,' but I like to think it says 'meat lover.' No reason.


They also have all kinds of handy little notions for people who make or repair shoes, bags, jackets, etc.


Up the stairs...



Not pictured: nice looking saddle blankets that I want to use for rugs!







Hand tooled, just gorgeous.




Hee haw!



& have a smell around.
