New York City, New York
Christopher Street leather and fetish shop serving NYC since 1965
The Leather Man has been making and selling fetish gear on Christopher Street since June 1965 — four years before the Stonewall uprising a few doors down — when founder Chuck Mueller quit his day job and started stitching leather clothing on a single sewing machine. Six decades on, it's widely regarded as New York's best source for S/M, leather, and fetish wear, much of it still cut and sewn in-house from hand-picked hides. The shop carries harnesses, chaps, vests, custom-fit garments, and the everyday hardware to go with them, alongside motorcycle and rock-and-roll leather for people who aren't necessarily there for the kink. The staff know the gear and the fit, which is the real reason to come in person rather than order online — whether you're buying a first harness or replacing a twenty-year-old jacket. It's a working piece of Greenwich Village leather history that has outlasted nearly every bar and club it once supplied.
