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

This event was a BLAST. I had more fun & met more sociable MEN here than I have ever met at any other event or venue. See you again in 08. Rick, you've done a superb job!

As literally the only guy in street clothes I can say I had an amazing time. Everyone was respectful of me and never questioned why I did not dress. I am coming next year! The vault party was a memory I can hardly forget.

Attended the 2007 competition and totally enjoyed every aspect of the event. It got me thinking about entering the competition for 2008. A great event guys, keep up the good work!

My husband and I had such a great time at our first Mates this year. We met quite a few real friendly guys as well as saw a lot of friends we haven’t seen in some time. Overall, we had such a good time we’ll definitely be back next year.
