Fire at Johnson Leather in SF

[MercuryMan76]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that, unfortunately, there was a building fire at Johnson Leather last night. Nobody was hurt but there's substantial damage to the store and pretty much all of their inventory suffered smoke/water damage. Needless to say it will take some time for them to sort things out and get back up and running, but they're working on it. Just thought you would all like to know.

That's a damn shame.
Alan and the crew at Johnson Leathers are great people who make top quality jackets. I'm glad to hear that nobody was hurt and I hope they are able to get back on their feet as soon as possible.

Eeek! I'm so sorry to hear this. Not just because my custom jacket
was almost done, but because they are just so nice. Dang. I'll have
to swing by this week. Thanks for posting.

Wow, tough week around here! Aero's break-in, now a fire at Johnson.

Will sure be praying and thinking of them as they sort throgh thier losses, really glad no one was hurt, by far the most important part. Hope they can get back up and going again soon...

Damn all those awesome leather jackets

I hope all their inventory isn't too badly damaged and they can get everything sorted out smoothly.

Must suck to have your awesome little shop damaged like this. But it's not over, just a set back.

My order with them will probably be delayed and I understand.

not to mention the recent burglaries at American Classics and Wested Leathers in May also .....

That's a really shit news! Sad to hear happen to such a great company. JL is the best and Alan is a really awesome guy. I really hope they'll be back on the track asap. Best of luck, Alan!

That's terrible news. They are a really helpful, wonderful company. Best luck for the rebuild, Alan and co.

Always hate it when bad things happen to good people.

^man seriously. Alan and co. couldn't be better folks to work with. Literally in a class all their own with regard to customer satisfaction. Hopefully this is only a minor set back for them and then get to doing what they do best without too many problems.

Sorry to hear this. Glad no one was hurt.

That's too bad. I have a cowhide, Langlitz Columbia motorcycle jacket, I sent to them a few years ago. I had them redo the collar to a short, stand job and added quilted shoulder and elbow pads, all in horsehide. They provided great work for a reasonable price.

I had a jacket requiring alterations boxed up to be mailed to JL tomorrow. Clearly they have bigger concerns now and I will hold off until I hear they are up and running again. Wow, Thurston Brothers, Aero, and now Johnson Leathers.

 

[Peacoat]

Terrible news, but thanks for letting us know.

So sorry to read this unfortunate news. I saw it posted on their website last night.
Alan & JL are the some of nicest and most accommodating people I've worked with in the leather jacket making business.
Wishing them a speedy recovery and hoping they'll re-open soon!

That is a shame! I have already had conversations with Alan regarding a jacket and he was great to talk to!

Yup, so my jacket was damaged... said it is gonna be several months.

I paid my full deposit and they offered me a refund.

I'm gonna keep my order and just be patient with them. I hope it comes this year. Have a levis half belt in overdye cxl on order

It'll be worth the wait. Set it and forget it. You'll be glad you did.
