Mr. S Leather is the largest leather and fetish retailer in San Francisco, which also does a large volume of business online. It was founded in 1979 by Alan Selby, the “S” in Mr. S. For some time it was operated by
Judy Tallwing McCarthey.
Initially conceptualized by the infamous and fondly remembered Alan Selby, Mr. S Leather had its humble beginnings with only a handful of production and sales staff. Mr. S Leather could be
best described as a “Leather Family”. Many companies
today, selling or producing fetish
gear and apparel over the years have fallen
short of this mark, having flooded the marketplace with flimsy designs and novelty items that weren’t functional. This was clearly not going to be the case with Mr. S Leather. Striving for perfection in both its craftsmanship and creative design produced legitimate and real working BDSM equipment and apparel that could stand the
test of time.
At Events
Mr. S Leather has a presence in the vendor marts of most major leather event weekends, including International Mr. Leather,
Mid-Atlantic Leather and CLAW.
Recognition
“
Skeeter of Mr. S Leather & Fetters Co.” received the International Deaf Leather Recognition Award in
1999.
