\"\"I have enjoyed wearing leather clothing since my 20s. It began when I started riding a motorcycle.<\/p>\n

But there was something special about …
\n
\n… the look, the feel, and the confidence I felt whenever I wore leathers. Jackets, shirts, pants, boots, and accessories such as leather ties, arm bands, and the occasional harness. <\/p>\n

Not only did I wear leather when I rode my bike, I also wore it more often around home and in the community where I live. I particularly liked the “Full BLUF” image: leatherman’s Muir Cap, necktie, aviator sunglasses, Marlboro, and serious look.<\/p>\n

I learned rather quickly that most people don’t give a shit about what you wear. I got over “hang-ups” with concerns about what other people thought.<\/p>\n

Photos below show an evolution from my first digital pic in 2005 until present day (June 2025). Posted just for fun. <\/p>\n

A lot more photos are on my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Life is short: wear gear and have fun with it.<\/p>\n

Enjoy watching my “Leatherman Evolution.”
