Welcome and thanks for getting me interested in George Lawrence Leather. Yes, I did a search.
In 1985, all divisions of The George Lawrence Company except the leather goods manufacturing were divested and the manufacturing operation was moved. The Lawrence family sold the building built by George W. Lawrence in 1903 at SW 1st and Oaks Street in Portland, Oregon. It has been renovated on the inside and converted to a commercial building. In 1989, the leather goods business was sold to Gould & Goodrich Leather, Inc. and moved to Lillington, North Carolina. Now, under the name of Lawrence Leather Company, Jim Buffaloe is the sole craftsman carrying on the Lawrence tradition.
Then, I didn't know about the connection between G. Lawrence and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum. I know that I've passed the museum many times. I guess I'll have to make it a point to stop in one day.

BTW.....are you interested in SASS (Single Action Shooting Society)? Is that the reason for your interest in shooting leather? If it's cowboy leather for your shooting iron....check out Ted Blocker in Tigard, OR. As for a SASS club. Try the SASS web site.
Aloha, Mark
PS......If it's more about leather in general....you might like a visit to: Oregon Leather Co. – Portland and Eugene's premier leather and leather supply store.
