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.

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!

And The Winner Is…
/in News /by Rick ConleyFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…
The 17th SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held in Provincetown MA February 21-23 and by all accounts was a great success with 250+ leather folks in town to celebrate brotherhood and charity.
Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2025, Phil Jiminez of Provincetown, MA, who brought in $6,276.13 in donations with his leather-themed photo submission. Not only did Phil beat the previous Mr. SNOWBOUND Contest record, but the man who placed second in this year’s contest, Rocco Pesce, brought in $5,106.90, also beating the previous record.
That is fucking AMAZING! Speaking for myself, the leather community and ASGCC, we are so grateful to you and every Mr. SNOWBOUND Contestant, present and past, for your incredible fund-raising efforts and are honored to call you brothers.
The six contestants collectively raised $13,439.85 for ASGCC. This brings the total raised through the Mr. SNOWBOUND Contest to $54,439.72
Adding to that sum are the sales of Fetish Photography by @MrMphoto1973 which brought in over $500.00 as of this post.
Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was “Mr. E”, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2024 of Provincetown, MA.
