The choice is a message
An acquaintance of mine sometimes publicly wears an impressive leather outfit with a muir cap and all. It is obvious to everybody who sees him that leather is a fetish for him. On the other hand, fetishism is a big secret for some men. Some cannot even imagine trying to buy a pair of black leather gloves.
I guess most leather fetishists lie between these two extremes. Many do not want to be obvious fetishists but want to hint at their interests to persons who are able to recognize the hints. Straitjacketed writes:
My theory is that many people register a (conscious or unconscious) attraction to certain fabrics and types of garment, and wearing a certain item is like projecting a signal on a semi-hidden wavelength.
It is once again the time of the year when motorcyclists begin to populate the roads of Finland. More often than before I find myself pondering whether a leather-wearing motorcyclist is trying to hint at his fetishistic interest in leather. Modern non-leather riding gear with all the technical innovations (Gore-Tex, Kevlar et cetera) is very practical. Choosing leather gear is no longer the obvious default choice it may have been in the past.
Lionel Richie collected leather trousers
I was a leather trousers collector for years. If I was 25 again, I’d be wearing them, but I’d probably get arrested right outside my hotel. Anyway, I would probably only be able to get one leg into them now.

Tom Wisdom misses the leather trousers
Tom Wisdom wears leather trousers in the film “The Boat That Rocked“. He plays Midnight Mark, a disc jockey of a pirate radio station in 1966.
When asked whet he enjoyed most about working on the film, Tom replied:
The leather trousers…I miss them.
Tom also did not mind that he had few lines to say:
As Mark hardly speaks, I miss just sitting there, smoking and being entertained by everyone. I have never said so little but laughed so much!
In the future, Tom would like to play a bad guy:
I would love to play a down and dirty rock star! Along the lines of Midnight Mark but with all the bad stuff thrown in! Something darker than I have done before but still with the leather trousers. I also loved the physical aspect of “300” and would love to do more fighting. I thoroughly enjoyed killing people.
