\"\"<\/a>This is a little story about a response to something I have had posted on my website for years: my Guide to Assembling a CHP uniform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In that Guide, I recommend not<\/b> to get a full leather CHP uniform. That’s because most guys wear it at leather fetish events which are most often held in very dark places, like a bar. Wearing a light colored leather uniform makes the wearer stand out in a crowd, which isn’t so bad unless one wants to appear like a neon sign. That’s my opinion, anyway. Also, light colors tend to make heavier guys appear even bigger. Thus, the rare times I go to such functions, I choose to wear my LAPD leather uniform<\/a> which is midnight blue. It’s more flattering to my ‘figure’ and less obvious, especially under black lights.<\/p>\n

Anyway, someone who makes CHP uniform breeches and shirts in leather sent me a pair of breeches to try out. He suggested that I wear them for a while and let him know what I thought. He did not request that I change my opinion, but wanted me to have a chance to see what the breeches were like.<\/p>\n

The breeches are comfortable. The leather is rather thin: I estimate 4 – 5oz leather. That’s not bad — these breeches will be good to use when riding my Harley in warmer weather, and preferably with a dark shirt or jacket and a pair of Patrol Boots. However, I absolutely must have a zipper installed in the fly. The cheap snaps that came on these breeches tend to open all by themselves. I really don’t want that to happen out in public (evil grin).<\/p>\n

Some photos of these breeches now appear on my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My opinion about light-colored leatherwear remains the same. These are bright and definitely would stand out in a dark bar. I still will choose to wear black or midnight blue to fetish events… my partner’s opinion is the same as my own: I look better that way.<\/p>\n

Life is short: wear your leather, and stand by your opinions!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
