Tanner Goods

I rarely write reviews but really have to give it up to this tanner goods location. They have a great collection of clothes and carry some cool up and coming brands. The customer service is top notch. Everyone in the store is super helpful and they will remember you. I really want to single out Grant. He remembered that I wanted a hat that was out of stock and emailed me when they received more inventory. Stores have said this to me before but never actually followed through. Great job guys.

Where to start? Plenty of their own in-​house leather offerings with some apparel. Great brands like The Hill-​Side, Weiss watches & Tellason.
The staff were all friendly & helpful. I had no problem getting assistance with the items I wanted to try on. Plus helpful suggestions & banter about the DTLA area.
My only complaint is that none of their offerings fit me! Even the salesperson who helped me bemoaned this fact. I was so ready to pull the trigger on their collaboration supply jacket with Rogue Territory but the XL was too small for me. Everything else I tried on didn’t fit right either.
If you’re staying at the Ace they offer a 10% discount on most items. Lots of well made & mostly made in the USA products. Definitely check them out if you’re in downtown LA!

Portland slaps DTLA with a touch of style. Leather, raw brass & steel. From your everyday blue collar woodsman to the occasional Brooks Brother suit. It doesn’t matter, it all blends perfectly. I was on the hunt for a custom carrier, and at the top of my list I found the Excursion Frame Bag:
As you can see, it’s solid. What I like about this bag is that it works seamlessly into the bicycle frame, utilizing the negative space was a genius idea. And esthetically, it’s pleasing to the eyes. More importantly, the functional aspects of carrying multiple items i.e. water bottle, cell-​phone, wallet, books, legal documents was paramount.
The method to their success starts with employee professionalism. So when you add knowledge & respect to the picture, the pleasant experience is now magnified ten fold.

Beautiful store. Simple layout, aesthetically pleasing. Love everything they’re carrying right now! The big A+ is the customer service. David helped me try on a bunch of denim and he was super patient and knowledgable. Thanks guys!

This store is exactly what a retail experience should exemplify. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who ask great open ended questions and actively engage in conversation.
Being a massive fan of their products, Tanner Goods have lived up to the benchmark set by their products with this store. Thank you to Kasey for being friendly, patient, and interested in my needs!
Looking forward to retuning again.

Extremely personable, genuine staff… not pushy at all. David and Grant were great. You simply can’t put a price on quality, made in America goods.

Awesome staff, and made in USA products. Stop by if you’re in the area. Good ‘ol leather goods and clothing that never go out of style.

This place is a real class act! Quality goods & the best customer service — personable & not pushy. I’ve now bought a couple of leather goods there that I know are well made & will last forever. Guys, keep doing what you’re doing. One of my fav shops in LA. Thank you!

Tanner goods, if you don’t already know, is a fairly première leather goods company based out of Portland that makes menswear accessories and other kinds of goods in that area. They create leather patches for denim companies like 3sixteen. Their stuff is MiUSA for those who care, though I’m not sure where it’s sourced from.
The storefront itself is fairly small, next to umami burger, but is packed with so much stuff. In addition to selling their own stuff, they stock other brands such as Rogue Territory denim and Oakstreet Bootmakers boots. I came in to buy a bifold and the store attendants were very helpful. They gave my input and space to browse. They also made sure to give my friends some input when they were looking around as well. I picked up the standard bifold and even had a choice in which one to choose for my color, which I thought was interesting and thoughtful.
Overall I’m glad tanner goods opened up a shop in LA. My bifold is still holding up strong and aging beautifully. The service there was fantastic and the offerings are great for anyone looking to spend some cash on high quality leather goods.

Great customer service! Alex and David, the guys behind the counter, are down to earth and knowledgeable. Asked over thirty questions and they answered all of them without a sweat. Love their products and the vibe of the store. Once you enter, the smell of leather hits you and you don’t wanna leave!

Really great selection of menswear and the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. Stuff isn’t cheap here but you’re paying for quality. They also had several Los Angeles based brands when I was there so that was pretty rad.

Northwestern hospitality in the heart of LA. I challenge you to find a friendlier staff at any other menswear shop in downtown.

A1 all around, from customer service to quality goods, not to mention the business model. You can find threads and leather most likely not seen anywhere else. The downtown LA location is only the second retail store in the country.
See sales rep Grant, very knowledgeable and friendly.

— Thoughtful, well-​organized selection of quality items to add to your wardrobe
— Friendly, cheerful staff with truly in-​depth knowledge about not only the store’s items, but also the craft and care that goes into making them
I’ve ordered some items from Tanner Goods before — but always through their online store; I’ve always been curious as to whether their Portland headquarters would end up fulfilling all of the hipster stereotypes in «Portlandia…»
One thing that I’ve consistently never had to wonder about, however, is the quality of the wares that they sell. While I can’t speak for the menswear and outerwear that Tanner sells, I can wholeheartedly vouch for the quality of their leather goods as being intelligent, long lasting investments.
I’ve been wearing both of my older Tanner belts with pants of all kinds; the first belt was purchased in 2008, the second in 2010. Both have held up fantastically: three continents, many, many concerts/​raves, some serious road tripping — you name it, those two belts have lived it.
Even now, they’re worn multiple times in a given week — in an office environment. That’s how well-​constructed Tanner’s stuff is!
Anyway, being that I finally got around to resurrecting a pair of raw denim jeans that had been kept tucked away in a corner of the closet for way too long, I figured that now was as good a time as ever to buy a new belt to go along with these same pants.
What I found at the Los Angeles store, interestingly enough, was a welcome combination of high quality goods and knowledgable, genuine employees.
The store is incredibly well thought-​out, and while I had stepped in solely to purchase a belt, I couldn’t contain the «oohs» and «aahs» at what seemed like every other item. (See photos to get a better idea!)
From pineapple-​print indigo ties to classy, grown-​man collared shirts with a subtle floral pattern, the store really speaks to both the whimsical and the functional, all at once.
Hell, even the dog collars were tempting, and I don’t even have a dog anymore!
I can’t remember the name of the salesman who helped me out (might have been Justin?), but he was more than willing to answer any questions that happened to pop up in my head. Even better, he didn’t creep over my shoulders of my girlfriend and I to suggest things in the way that some salespeople do.
Justin (?) was also extremely upbeat and friendly, even when a drunk guy unexpectedly wandered his way into the store…
(Did I mention that that same drunk ended up buying a shirt? I guess appearances aren’t everything — but the guy blatantly slurred to all of us that he had he had made his way from a bar down the street…)
REALLY COOL TIP: All Tanner belts come with a lifetime warranty! Any damage or serious wear and tear on a belt can be remedied if you bring the belt in to the store.
I was extremely pleased to learn that this same warranty extended to both of my old belts — not that they’d need it anytime soon. The reassurance alone, however, shows how much the folks at Tanner Goods really care about their customers.
(I didn’t happen to ask if this same buyer protection extended to their other leather goods; I’d imagine that it did, though!)
Ultimately, I settled on a skinny black belt with a copper buckle. It’s cool to note that in spite of the fact that I purchased the belt because of its reputation for durability, I nonetheless do get compliments on it pretty often.
Anyways, if you can see past the unnecessary pretense, those hipsters down at Tanner Goods really do have some great stuff to offer.
Oh oh oh, and it doesn’t heard that Tanner is just down the street from an Umami Burger. Always, always a plus.

I love this store, the smells & all the cool leathers. the prices reflect the quality of the product you are buying.

I learned about this shop from Tanner Goods’ website. They don’t provide much info about the store online, but they carry the entire line you see on the website, plus a modest number of Made In USA clothing brands.
The shop itself is beautiful and the service was very pleasant. I appreciated the no-​pressure, open atmosphere and how it was a boutique without feeling too exclusive. This might be kind of silly, but I also liked how the whole store didn’t have that overwhelming «leather smell».
The products were neatly laid out, and a salesperson was always available to answer a question without being a distraction. I highly recommend visiting the shop if you are curious about interesting leather goods and the brand’s aesthetic. I am definitely enjoying my card wallet so far. It’s a pleasure to hold in my hand and I appreciate the small details.
Parking Tip: Street parking can be found, but meter rates are expensive at around $ 4 per hour. You can find flat-​rate parking for $ 5-​$ 7 within a block or two. That doesn’t seem like a bad deal to me if you are expecting to walk around for a bit or have lunch.
Shopping Tip: I only found this out afterward, but they have a deal involving the local «shopping walk» promotion, where you can get a free leather coaster or key fob with any purchase. Those usually run around $ 12, so it’s a nice bonus. Other local boutiques have deals as part of that promotion, too. Just ask for a «shopping map» that lists the stores and details.

Even though this replaced a beloved photography institution (
) I welcome the addition of this store specializing in high quality leather goods with beautifully selected men’s clothing.
We stopped in here yesterday. Up close, in your hands, the selection of sweaters, shirts, shorts and other sportswear is what you might find in a New York City store. LA desperately needs a place like Tanner Goods. It’s a smaller, well-​run and well– edited men’s store carrying well-​designed clothes that are not just for millionaire rockers (Fred Segal) or disposable tastes (Zara).
The salesman who showed us around was polite, warm and knowledgable about the products. He showed a serious and intelligent devotion to the brands.
And the staff was not staring into their smart phones when we walked in. And they said «you’re welcome» when we thanked them, not «no problem.»
Hoping that Tanner Goods thrives.

Stopped in while I was in LA on Monday!
I’ve been a fan of the brand for a couple years now and it was time for a new wallet to break in, so this might be a little biased, but everything about the shop was great. I walked in expecting just to see their leather collections, but was pleasantly surprised to find premium denim and clothing from a few great brands in the shop.
My lady and I hung out for about 30 minutes talking to Alex behind the register, listening to the dope music from the jute box, and trying on some clothes. Alex provided great customer service and was their to help with suggestions and sizes while I was trying stuff on.
I ended up walking out with a new pair of 3sixteen double black denim (check them out) and a brand new workman wallet in natural leather. I couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to go back! Definitely a must whenever I make my way up to LA in the future.

Very cool leather shop. From belts to wallets, canvas bags to clothes, this place is great, especially for guys. Picked up a fantastic passport case for The Dude.
Damn… We did some damage this weekend.

Glad to be the first to review Tanner Goods’ second flagship store. Actually I’m just happy that there is now a place where I can go to get Tanner belts and have them ready at that exact moment, as opposed to waiting 2 – 3 weeks or being subject to whatever a local store happens to have in stock.
Set in the Ninth & Broadway building, the storefront in unassuming but the content is awesome. I saw Tellason denim and lots of interesting accessories, luggage, shaving essentials and more. And the belts! Tanner Goods belts are extremely high quality, a non-​fussy item that just plain works. They have dozens of options for leather tone, thickness and buckles. And they assemble the belt as you watch. Love it.
The sales staff was great, helpful and knowledgeable. It’s a soft opening right now but they’re definitely open — and I have a one inch saddle tan leather belt to show for it.
