About Leather Etc

A leather and fetish-gear maker and retailer on Folsom Street, handcrafting its goods in San Francisco since 1991. Much of what's on the racks — pants, chaps, jackets, harnesses, restraints, and bondage accessories — is built on-site and made in the USA, with custom orders cut to individual measurements rather than pulled off a wholesale rail. That in-house workshop is what separates it from a generic gear shop. It sits in SoMa's officially designated Leather and LGBTQ Cultural District, blocks from both the Folsom Street Fair and the Dore Alley Fair, and after more than three decades it's one of the longest-running independent leather retailers left in the city. Walk in to browse the stock, or come with measurements for a custom fitting.
