About Mates

A kick-back, have a good time, meet some hot new friends weekend for those who want to hang out, socialize, relax or party with other like-minded people in Leather, Rubber and Uniforms.

Mates Leather Weekend is brought to you by Rick Conley, longtime Provincetown resident and leatherman. I want to thank all MLW sponsors, friends and past participants who have contributed to the success of Mates Leather Weekend. I’m grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made along the way.

I take great pride in the quality of men and women that attend MLW. There is no attitude here, just folks that are down-to-earth, friendly, and nice to look at. It takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this. I hope you enjoy it.

What They Are Saying

Hi guys, though I did not participate in all the events, my friend and I had a fun time at all the ones we could include. Thanks for all your hard work and bless your organizational skills.

Bobby | Provincetown, MA

Hey Rick, Thanks for a fantastic "Mates." It was the first for my partner and me and we had a blast. Having just come off Folsom (our first as well) we found "Mates" to be a much more social and engaging weekend. We look forward to many more over the years.

My other half had been to P-Town many times, but it was my first and really enjoyed all the activities. Great job!

Mike Brewer | Albany, NY

Thanks for doing such a great job organizing the weekend! It was my first time at Mate's and I had a great time. I'll plan to be there next year.
