Company Performance Metrics
International Leather Source dba LeatherDrive is your one stop leather shop, based in Chicago and established in 1976. Unlike any other retailer we operate our own factory where we specialize CUSTOM MADE Leather Jackets direct to consumer.
In 1976, our original location was established in Chicago’s bustling wholesale district, Clark Street. That
store titled “International Leather Source” specialized in wholesale and retail leather fashion. It gained popularity quick and drew a massive following from customers all over the United States. Fast forward 10 years we grew from 1 single store to 9 flagship locations around the Chicagoland and Wisconsin area.
Today, all of our focus is toward our eCommerce operations. Simply put, we have noticed a growing trend of retailers selling overpriced, substandard items claiming to be “leather.” This, along with designers selling a name and ignoring quality, led us to believe that there needed to be a change. There had to be a cost effective method for the consumer to purchase high quality leather goods without the mark ups of a traditional retailer. Unable to find an already existing solution, LeatherDrive was born.
