Garut is legendary across Indonesia as the premier powerhouse for genuine leather production (Sentra Kulit Garut), specifically centered around the Sukaregang district. While Bandung's Cibaduyut is famous primarily for shoes and footwear, Garut is the actual primary manufacturing hub where raw hides are tanned and crafted into high-end leather jackets, coats, long coats, vests, bags, and accessories.
The Sukaregang strip features rows of factory showrooms and direct artisan workshops where you can buy premium sheepskin and cowhide leather jackets crafted locally, often at direct-producer prices with options for custom sizing.
By Car or Private Hire: Reaching Garut from Bandung takes about 2 to 3 hours via the Nagreg mountain pass and Limbangan road corridor. Hiring a private driver or car is the most practical choice for bringing home bulky leather jackets.
By Train: You can take a regional train from Bandung to Garut Station (Stasiun Garut), then take a short local transport (angkot) or ojek directly to the Sukaregang leather district.
