Laird Leatherman

ABOUT THE COMP

The Laird Leatherman Competition has been running in its current format since 2008, when The Laird and Mannhaus collaborated to bring back a once much-loved style of competition, aimed at bringing Melbourne’s men of leather and fetish together not just for one night, but all year round. That first competition in 2008 was massive and saw 12 guys competing over 2 heats and a final, with Mal Guest crowned the inaugural Laird Leatherman. Since then, the competition has gone from strength to strength, with the format of 3 rounds, being ‘Formal Wear’, ‘Jock Strap’ and the always popular ‘Fantasy’ round.

From 2008 to 2021, Laird Leatherman was a collaboration between Mannhaus and The Laird. In 2024, the event will be solely produced by The Laird, but we encourage you to step into Mannhaus, say Hi, check out their gear and their amazing wall of leather history.

The competition has seen twelve proud leather men represent Mannhaus and The Laird raising over $40,000 for their chosen charities. Several of the men have travelled to Chicago to compete in International Mr Leather, the largest competition of its kind in the world.

If you’re interested in competing and keen to hear first-hand experiences, reach out to any of our previous Laird Leathermen, they’re all a friendly bunch!

Cheers, Brett and Mark, The Laird
