I recently purchased some leather gear at Rough Trade in Los Angeles, and I had such a great experience that I had to leave a review. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I want to call out Serafin took the time to understand the look I was going for and helped me find the perfect pieces to complete my outfit. What I really appreciated was that Serafin didn't just sell me items -- he made thoughtful recommendations and helped me put together something that felt cohesive and confident. The quality of the leather is excellent, and the selection is impressive. You can tell they know their product and care about helping customers find the right fit and style. If you're looking for high-quality leather gear in LA and want a team that actually takes the time to help you, Rough Trade is definitely worth the visit. I'll absolutely be back. Shout out to Cristina who is always helpful and assisted me in placing an for additional pieces. read more

I can't say enough good things about Rough Trade and their amazing staff. I've been a customer for close to a decade and always have a positive experience here. Yesterday, I was in a crunch for time and couldn't make it to the store from deep on the San Gabriel Valley where I reside, but really needed some new gear to play in. I called the store around 7:00 pm and was greeted by Christina! I asked if it would be possible to set up an uber package to be delivered to me if I placed an online order within the hour. She said it absolutely was and proceed to ask me if I had particular things I had in mind and she would start pulling the items in requested sizes. I proceeded to place my order and called her back to let her know I had paid and to expect the order to come through. A few minutes later, she called me back and told me the order was ready to be picked up and to call the uber I covered that cost, which I was more than willing to do. She put together the perfect surprise box and had all the styles I had purchased in my order. Thank you Christina for being so helpful, attentive, and friendly in all our conversations. I don't run into exceptional customer service as much as in past times, but you reminded me that it is most definitely an achievable thing. I would have liked to go into the store myself, but placing the online order anddm getting it delivered was an easy process and I had my items in no time. Definitely worth considering if you live a bit of a distance from Silverlake. I feel fortunate to have been brought to the store over a decade ago and to this day remains my go to place for leather gear, toys, cock rings... you name it. I've learned so much over the years from various staff members and they do a great job at welcoming you and making sure to answer any questions you may or may not have. I've stepped foot inside not looking for anything in particular and have left with a new interest or curiosity. read more

Had a phenomenal experience at Rough Trade Gear! The customer service was top-tier. Chandler and Merlyn answered all of my questions regarding the pros and cons of fabric harnesses versus genuine leather. It was extremely helpful as someone who is new to leather. Highly recommend getting your leather and other gear from here. Also, the quality of the gear is unmatched with a good range of reasonable prices. You wont regret shopping here. read more

RTG, thank for being so good to the community. Rough Trade Gear is a Leather, Neoprene and Gear clothing store in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake. They specialize in custom items by Rough Trade/RT and their cousin store Lustern in DTLA as well as support other queer/lgbtq+ artist, companies and small businesses selling a lot of product in their two story shop such as: Cellblock13, HomoAF, Nasty Pig, OxBalls, Radriguez, Universal Bear Designs, even Mr. S (located in San Francisco) to name a few #BetterTogether #CommunityBridge From graphic tees, caps, street wear, pants, shorts, gifts and accessories to a lot of specialize items you can find in very few places in L.A. As a gay owned and Latinx owned business they make sure all feel welcome whether a cool regular, casual shopper or an inquiring new face #OpenToAll The service is always great and whether you're mingling with Jessica, Cristina, Merlyn, Nabor, Sera, the head beary honcho jefe Adrian and company (Greg, who makes cameos). The upstairs is very much and will always be a wonderland of all things fetish as the more adult store section of this local emporium with a very knowledgeable sole (Sera), he's kind, caring and very open to talking about anything here as well as recommending. Truly loving a lot of the new things in-stock including more alternatives to traditional leather in the polyvinyl and/or polyurethane realm. Wouldn't surprise me if some custom mycelium (mushroom leather) products pop up in the future in their growing popularity #FeelinSeen #GottaCatchEmAll Quality is amazing for all products. They offer some great value deals, plus sales throughout the year especially when they host events here, including their 25th Anniversary last year and their Mr. Rough Trade Gear 2025 appointment night this year. Additionally they promote many local events throughout Greater L.A., advocate, support and show up as much a possible. This safe space known simple as Rough Trade opens by 12pm Noon every day and stays open until 7pm on Sundays as well as Mondays, 8pm Tuesday through Thursday and until 9pm on Friday, not to mention Saturday. Music is always a bop with a variety of hits, remixes and fun. Parking is limited but available in their lot, though exiting can be tricky, so most will recommend local street parking. LA Metro runs along Sunset Blvd with multiple connections, but it's also only a 20 minute walk or less for the nearest Metro Stations at Vermont/Santa Monica or Vermont/Sunset. Loads of Lime scooters and LA Metro bikes clos eby as well. Their online inventory (free shipping over $45, domestic based) and shop is just as impressive as the physical store, but nothing beats the real fell in-person feel good vibes of RTG. Te sientes como en casa, or at least I do as well as many others I know. Stop in to Rough Trade Gear - Los Angeles and also Rough Trade Gear - Palm Springs #ShopSmall #SupportLocal read more

Very bad attitude. I asked for prices because I knew the tag was discounted and the lady wouldnt bother to look at it and said $65. I had to turn the tag around for her to give me a new price. I let it go I went upstairs and bought more merchandise and when I was cashing out the same lady had such a negative attitude. I ended up paying and I asked an employee at the exit and it turns out the owner was treating me like crap. I spend $189 dollars and I had no idea the owner was the one treating me like this. NEVER again. The place is really cool and has some amazing items I didn't want to leave until i encounter the owner La dueña de este establecimiento no le tiene respeto a sus clientes. Le molestan las preguntas. Lástima que supe que era la dueña después de a ver comprado. read more

THEIR CLOTHES MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. PROMISE. Rough Trade is my go to. Been shopping here for over 10 years. I love their sizing and fit. If you've purchased $600 pants before and wondered who the hell are these made for? I dont know anyone who can even put these on in this size, then you should check out Rough Trade. It's a good solid fit. the clothes make you feel great about yourself. I've purchased a handful of their shirts, a jacket or two, and 6 pair of their pants. Everyone gives me compliments and I've never regretted anything about this place. Shop local and help support places like this. When it comes to great clothes you shouldn't be forced to buy online when you have a fully equipped and staffed place that can fit you and make sure everything is right where it needs to be. read more

I've been a frequent patron to this store and their other store, Lustern. I love that they have a large selection of products and their prices seem fair. That being said, they always seem to be missing common brand lubes or something else that I am trying to find that seems like a common item, but that's every adult store tbh. The real kicker is the woman that works here, whom I believe is the owner. Not very friendly with a distasteful attitude. All the other employees are friendly, even her daughter that works at the other location is pretty cool. Just wish the woman who works here was pleasant, it makes for a sour experience each time I come here. read more

Update: I continue to love Rough Trade. They are AMAZING. I come here to get underwear (usually the house brand thongs and jocks), lube and custom gear. read more

I was looking to try on some leather gear and found this place online. It's got two stories and lol the serious leather gear is upstairs. I was just about to leave after checking out all the stuff downstairs and a little disappointed that I didn't see anything that moved me downstairs because I was looking for leather but it's all upstairs and plenty of it, masks, dog masks, chains, vests, pants, military style leather gear, stuff I couldn't ID. Bought a really nice n simple vest, going back soon with some of my red thread leather motorcycle gear to see if it matches with the pants I found. read more

Amazing store was helped by Jessica and Christina . I can't wait to come back and shop some more .

Great people. They made my first time purchase feel so comfortable and excited to explore more.

Cool spot. I usually go to the party weho place in weho but I went past this place the other day and decided to check it out today. The selection is nice and to be expected from most places. Not as much product as the party weho place (as far as jocks are concerned) but I think it's because it seems more based in leather and everything is hung up on the wall. They have some cute things which I bought and at a decent price. I got a thong for 20$ but they had some for cheaper. Definitely going to come back to get more. They have upstairs which has more leather specific apparel like vests, hats, and ofc straps of all kinds. They also had sex toys and Accessories as well as condoms and lubricants. So basically everything another queer sex shop would have. The cashier person was super friendly as well. They take Apple Pay if you need to know cuz I did lol. This is closer to where I live than weho so I'll come here more often for my sexy stuff. read more

Excellent products. Great quality. Prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I always come back to this place if I need gear and stuff for myself or just buy it as a gift for my friends. read more
