leather daddy

Leather Daddy is a LGBTQ+ Slang term for a appearance/fashion aesthetic born from the leather subculture in the late 1940's. Because it is more of an aesthetic rather than a definitive set of characteristics, and because many of them are only noticeable relative to other characters in an image, it is hard to effectively label images with this tag.

All leather daddies are male, or at least andromorphs. Most Leather Daddies are usually, but not always gay and sexually dominant. They are usually depicted as being relatively older, larger, more muscular, hairer, fatter, and/or more well endowed than most or at the very least the submissive character in the image. They are also usually depicted wearing copious and conspicuous amounts of leather clothing, gear, and accessories and very little else. This includes leather jackets, harnesses, biker hats, leather underwear, leather chaps, leather boots, leather gloves, leather vests, and occasionally leather masks or gimp hoods.
