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.
- Rick Conley
Provincetown
Provincetown is a gay-friendly oceanside community. Generally the weather is cool in the fall, making it ideal to wear your leather, rubber or uniform. You can feel comfortable shopping, walking the streets day or night, dining, hiking on the beach and touring the bars in your leather, rubber or uniform…and I hope you will!

SNOWBOUND SETS RECORD
/in News /by Rick ConleyThe Eleventh Annual SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held in Provincetown MA February 23-25 and by all accounts was a great success with about 200 leathermen in town for the weekend’s events.
Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2018, Nick Jamison of Barre VT, who brought in the most donations with his winter/leather-themed photo. The event overall raised $1,906 for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, an all-time SNOWBOUND record. Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was Eric Farkas, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2017 of Boston MA. All contestants were awarded an event package to CLAW18 April 26-29. clawinfo.org
