About NPC

Check out our new website here.

Named after my grandfather, the mechanical engineer from Perkasie, Norman Porter Company is a denim, canvas, and leather goods company operating out of Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA. We produce small batches on selvage denim jeans, leather goods, and baggage. We make all the products in house.

All of our jeans are made with the finest quality domestic and Japanese denims. Most of our leather products are tooled and unique.We aim to maintain a few general types but try to make each piece a little different. We try not to make simple, clean, and boring accessories. We embrace the strange and wacky.

Do not be hesitant to ask about custom leather work. Please realize that extremely unique leather goods that vastly differ from our normal patterns and practices can be done, but will come at a premium. That being said, this blog is to show some of our past and current work. Certain posts will feature items for sale. All and all, this is to open your mind for inquiries into possible works. If you must have something on here, let us know. Thanks!
