leatherman

BDSM subculture member

A leatherman is a man in the leather subculture—typically gay men who wear leather clothing as a marker of sexual identity, often associated with BDSM.

The term evokes motorcycle culture aesthetics: jackets, boots, harnesses, caps.

The bar was packed with leathermen on Pride weekend.

Leatherman is also a brand of multipurpose folding tools.
