Leather Masters

Your better off going to another Leather store. This store is so OVER PRICED. Even going online you would find the same thing but hundreds of dollars cheaper.

Support your local community store! It’s always a fun place to stop by with great people to talk to!

I feel so lucky to have a store that carries so much fun hot fetish merch in the hood. Love their selection of toys (from beginner’s to advanced play), and really appreciate how open and friendly the staff is.

So grateful to have this store close by. There aren’t very many adult stores around anymore, & I’ve never seen a store with half as much BDSM gear! Love it, I’ll definitely be back soon!

Tom is gone in to better digs and since his departure the store’s inventory, customer service, and atmosphere (yes I said atmosphere) dwindled to a meager whimper of the once friendly and well equipped store it once was. There’s no longer a reason for me to visit and I do miss the old LM. The owners should pay more attention to their customers.

I think San Jose is lucky to have a store and resource like Leather Masters. They have been on Park Ave forever! They have a great selection of blinged out Hitachi Magic Wands and they always have the best LUBE ever the Pjur Eros in stock. They have beautiful leather floggers and all things leather you could ever imagine. I read the other reviews about not being able to be a female shopping there alone. I totally disagree. This is a very well lit and open and safe store for anyone. You might not LOVE all of their products — but it’s just a store. Nothing scary about it at all. And, it’s a great place for naughty Halloween costume accessories.

The people who work here have always treated me RIGHT. They make me feel welcomed. They educate me. And to top it off… they speak freely about sex toys and their products — so I feel comfortable myself. I went there today (03÷06÷13 @ 6−7pm) one of the ladies was awesome in helping and educating me. Its my go to place for toys and supplies…

Pricy! Excellent customer service, will help you find what you are looking for. It’s a lot smaller than it was a couple years back, but it’s there. I love the masks! The quality is excellent.

My wife found this store while we were visiting some friends in the bay area. We didn’t have any particular expectations about what Leather Masters had to offer other than what the name implies. We were enthralled to discover that they carry many non-​leather products (suede, latex, nylon, etc.), which matters to us because my wife is vegan both in appetite and lifestyle. We purchased three items for just over $ 100, which is comparable to other adult stores and online sites.
I have to say that the employees made this trip extra special for us, because they went out of their way to demonstrate products, discuss the lifestyle, and encouraged us to get involved in the community in this area. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of service and information provided, and left assured that the products we purchased were top-​notch. Bakersfield could really benefit from having more people like those we met at Leather Masters.

Since I moved to SJ ten years ago, I go about once a year to stock up on leather and other «goods». The staff has ALWAYS been helpful. I have never left without getting what I intended to buy.
Not sure about the «dim lighting», noted in a prior review. The place is quite bright. Never had trouble parking or was afraid to be in that the neighborhood. It has always been a great experience. I usually learn something too.

I’m not into the BDSM scene but if you’re into «the lifestyle» I recommend only over the overpriced stuff at LM. The staff are friendly, it has pretty good hours and it’s the only game in town if you don’t want to drive to SF.
But if you don’t like the color black, it’s not the place for you and it can be hard to find if you don’t know the area and parking can be hard some days.

I was visiting my friend in San Jose, and on a whim, we decided to go to Leather Masters in the middle of the afternoon, to check out their corsets, boots, etc.
For starters, this place is in a bad/​seedy neighbourhood. Don’t let the pretty condos by the Didiron station fool you… this place gave me the creeps. Abandoned stores, very few people around at all (including the houses we walked by, mind you). I just didn’t get a very good feeling walking down deserted Park Ave. to get to the place.
Once my friend and I finally found the place (DO NOT GO ALONE, espcially if you are young and female, I am not lying.), I decided to take a quick peek inside to see that it was ok.
It looked ok, that’s for sure, but once we walked in, we were both given the slow up and down once over by the creepy middle aged guy sitting behind the counter. He didn’t even greet us. I had to say «hello» to get a head nod and a creepy smile.
There was no one else in the store, the lighting was dim, and it was completely silent. There was no chatter of co workers (in fact, there was only the one creepy dude there), no music playing, nothing. The energy of the store felt really low and plain not safe.
I’ve been in sex/​lingerie shops before… so I’m not hating on this place because it was all leather and bondage gear, don’t get me wrong. It was more the general feel and overall experience of the place.
My friend and I immediately made the decision to not look at the sexual things (even though I had gone there with the intent of checking out their collars and flogs, I decided not to for potentially my own saftey), because we didn’t feel comfortable doing so. We walked over to the front of the store, checked on the corsets*, where my frined whispered in my ear «Do NOT try one on now». After about a minute of standing there… I grabbed my friend by the arm and we hightailed it out of there.
*The corsets didn’t seem to be made out of good quality material, either. In fact, most of the stuff didn’t even look (or smell) like real leather. I know what leather smells like, from working in the equestrian saddlery and motorcycle racing leather industries… and this did not seem legit. I did not get a whiff of leather.

Great selection of stuff. toys, leather, medical toys, electrical toys, liquid latex, rubber, collars, restraints… you name it! Lots of fun to be had here ;)

the website is just as great as thier store. I can find any toy, leather product and so much more. Great prices too… Highly recommend!

A decent selection of adult ‘novelty’ items, but I go there for the bdsm gear.
This is where I get my rope — if you’ve never done any rope bondage, then learn about rope before you try it. Next time I’m in I plan to ask about special orders since I want some different thicknesses and colors. That being said, they have many ready to go ‘chains’ of rope at varied lengths for decent prices (good rope isn’t cheap, people).
They also have a decent selection of crops, canes, paddles, etc… not to mention electrical and medical toys. If you’ve never tried a nerve wheel, you should.
I love the smell, that almost edible scent of leather as the store lives up to its name. I think the leather goods are a bit on the spendy side, but they’re well crafted for the most part, and very functional. You get what you pay for.
As far as customer service goes, they’re friendly and relaxed enough for the shy beginner to approach, if they can get themselves through the door. The second set of cuffs I purchased there popped a rivet as soon as they were put on, and so I took them back. I was upset at first when I was told I couldn’t return them (as I wanted to exchange for a set that WORKED), but then a gentleman came out from the back, took them with him and replaced the rivet while I waited. Seems the original rivet had been too short, so popped with almost no pressure. All the other rivets have held, and I’m still using those cuffs today.

True, this is a shop with lots of leather clothing and accoutrements, but that is not all it is. They also carry top-​of-​the-​line toys, gear, books, and videos for all interests.
What makes this shop truly excellent is the owner and staff. Tony has created a very welcoming space. Tom and Shadow are two of the staff members that are very open, patient, and knowledgeable. Whether you be a newbie or an expert, they will help guide you to your perfect item. The shop is small, but they have an extensive catalog online and, should they not have something in shop, they can work with you to locate it.
Again, this is not just a shop for the leather community, it is your neighborhood adult shop to help fill your desires. Whether you be heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered, a fetishist, or just curious, they will take respect you at Leather Masters.
When San Francisco or Berkeley are too far to drive to, swing by Leather Masters and give them a try.

The first time I visited this place was back in college with a friend of mine. We looked around and giggled like two school girls, but bought nothing. It was fun, silly, and innocent. I recently rediscovered this store again, but this time as a shopper. The only place I know where I can buy a good quality whip :-)
The people there were nice and super helpful. I needed props for photos that evening and I had a very specific look in mind. They are a bit pricey, but the quality is really good. I ended up buying a riding crop, a flogger and an 8 foot bull whip. It looks really cool when I use the 8 foot bull whip for photos because I am only 5 feet tall. LOL!
So 5 stars to you Leather Masters for supplying me with lovely photo props.

When you need some leather, you are going to have call someone «master.»
Hence, leather masters.
I had to go here twice in about in the span of 7 days. No, I didn’t break my whip and flogger out an all night out call, silly. I picked up a mask here for the Unilocal Elite event (I went to a BDSM shop for the mask, okay sue me) and then once to look for cop accessories for Halloween.
A good place to let it all out and explore any needs that you may have. The staff is more than accommodating, and obviously there’s no being shy when you are surrounded by handcuffs, dildos, and lots of leather. The guy even gave me a handcuff lesson when I was looking for one to add to my cop costume. Get your mind out of the gutter, my hands were never behind my back. ;) I was shy, so I averted from it but Halloween is next week so we’ll see how risqué things get.
This was also only the place that had the one thing I needed for my costume so it saved me. And the prices were entirely reasonable, too.

The people are very friendly and very welcoming.

Peaches said it best…”…whips, chains, toys, leather… cummon…baby let’s go! ” Wanna get down and dirty??? Leather Masters is the place to pick up something… uhmm…a little naughty!!! But you didn’t hear that from me…:-)
