Stockade Leather

Had a great experience with Stockdale Leather today. I ordered a belt some time ago and it wasn't the right size. I dropped by the store and it was adjusted at no cost (my offer of payment was gently refused). The store is really interesting. Some of the tools are more than 100 years old and the owner really takes great pride in his work. Prices are reasonable and the quality is excellent (with great attention to detail). Had a lovely chat and was glad I dropped by. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much Peter, your professionalism, turn around time and the work you done was absolutely Fabulous! All my expectations were well and truly surpassed.My father will absolutely love his Leather cover, and i look forward to dealing with you again in the future! Take Care. :-) Leon

Very lovely belt and knife pouch combination, made for me. I am very impressed with it.

Wanted a simple seat repaired or replaced. Told me it wasn’t possible to repair so replacement was necessary. He spend some time explaining to me which leathers were suitable and what was available. Said I would need to purchase half a hide. I asked for the estimated cost he said he didn’t have time to do it. As he was too busy with commercial jobs. Don’t know why he was wasting time talking to me about options if he didn’t have time to do the job at all. Maybe he should put a sign on the door saying “not taking anymore jobs”. Best if he closes the doors and gets to work on all of the commercial work he has to do.I then took it to my local shoe repair store and they said they could repair it no problem! Said it would be ready the next day! Will pick up tomorrow. To be continued!Thank you for your response, I see you didn’t deny what happened. Why are you bothered that someone else could do the job that you didn’t have time for? Darken your doorstep, hmm I came in with positivity and all you gave me was no, no, no. You clearly think my job is beneath you. I have a very positive and skilled leather repair person that will be doing all of my jobs going forward. You are not the only leather repairer in Melbourne and many others have the same machinery.You also said that I shouldn’t dye/paint leather. Well I do and successfully with pigments made especially for changing the colour of leathers. It can be done and it doesn’t come off and it looks amazing. I have done it many times.Best wishes.

Peter is a delight to deal with. He makes the time to discuss your requirements. You never feel like you are disrupting his work.The skills of his craftsmanship are obvious in the display of beautiful leather products around the shop that he makes.It is always a fun experience to buy there.Les, Perth, WA

This shop provides true quality and genuine craftsmanship and service, the prices are ridiculously reasonable specially for custom made pieces! I highly recommend everything about stockade!!! Lots of love!!

I walked in with a leather necklace that needed repairing (the glue had come loose). Peter talked through the different options for repairing and ended up stitching the leather to far better than new. A real craftsman and lovely human to boot. Thank you Peter!

Very helpful sizing up a couple of belts

I have just picked up my hunting knife from Peter at Stockade Leather.He made a beautiful leather scabbard which I am truly delighted with.I have a good friend who manufactured my knife for me, I will be recommending Stockade Leather to him for his future customers.Peter couldn’t have been more helpful.

Peter is such a friendly guy, very welcome to customers. His craft is amazing, attention to feature and detail and care for the items made.Wonderful...
