Jimenez Leather Shops Keep Family Craft Alive
The Ruben and Sons Boot and Shoe Repair shops at 1811 E Eighth St and 213 E University preserve a family leather-trade lineage. Harvey and Ruben Jimenez continue full-cycle custom leatherwork from selection of hides to final product, adapting to demand with belts saddles wallets and motorcycle gear while noting shifts away from saddle production. Customers value repair and bespoke items with two to four week turnarounds, and demand remains strong despite broader industry decline.
