I was searching for a men's real leather jacket. The arms of jackets tend to be long on me, so I really wanted a place where I could try them on instead of the hassle of ordering & returns just to try something. Google wasn't helping me find many options in NH. The only real options I could find were at Macy's and they only had 2 styles in stock that I could try (according to their web site).
I kept searching for other potential options using Google Maps and aside from the big box stores It was highlighting things way down in Boston. I zoomed in and suddenly up popped Hayward's Trading Post -- about 5 miles away from my house. Apparently, Google has trouble properly suggesting businesses without a web site. Fortunately, some posted photos indicating that they had a good selection of jackets, so we made a quick trip to check it out.
What a great leather store1 Large selection of Leather Jackets (Men's & Women's) in various styles. They also have vests, pants, Moccasins, boots belts, cowboy hats, and a small section of shoes. They have leather work gloves as well as driving gloves. There are NH gifts (T-shirts, puzzles, etc.) and Pendleton Wool blankets (around $300). My wife said, "Wow this the first nice 'Trading Post' I've ever been in." They typically have the tom-toms, 'native American' items (made in China), and a bunch of plastic souvenirs.
I found a nice leather jacket with a removable lining for $299. So if you need some nice-quality leather items, you definitely should check it out. Hopefully, this detailed review will help push Hayward's Trading Post up in the search rankings for "leather jackets near me"! Since I was focused on my shopping, I unfortunately, didn't take any photos new to share of the store so you only get to see what I purchased. You can always call, I'm sure the friendly staff would be glad to tell you if they have what you are looking for. ~Jerry
