About West Coast Leather:

West Coast Leather has been creating beautiful leather clothing since 2003. West Coast Leather creates new collections every season that reflect the latest styles in Europe and put their own unique spin on them. West Coast Leather continues to push the envelope in leather design, offering the largest selection of fashionable men’s leather coats, and women’s leather jackets, dresses, skirts, and pants on the West Coast. They use friendly vegetable-tanned leather from Italy and chrome-free skirts, and many of their leather creations, and are always pushing the boundaries of leather style. At West Coast Leather, Skip and his staff strive to help each customer create a unique leather wardrobe. They treat every client like a Rock Star.
