Gear Acquires JIMsupport and LeatherStock, Launches Fetish Locker

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gear Leather and Fetish Acquires JIMsupport and LeatherStock™; Forms Fetish Locker, Inc. 

Palm Springs, CA – May 15, 2014

Gear Leather and Fetish announced today that it has acquired the JIMsupport brand of portable steel BDSM furniture and eScents Of, LLC, the maker of LeatherStock™ premium leather scented products. It has consolidated all three businesses under a new corporate entity, Fetish Locker, Inc. 

“It’s a huge honor to have been chosen to carry on the legacies of two such well-known and popular gay men’s fetish brands,” said Fetish Locker President and CEO John McBain. “We look forward to serving their existing fans as well as bringing both lines to the broader kink/fetish/BDSM marketplace.” 

Founded in 2005, Gear Leather & Fetish has delighted kinky shoppers with its sexy, contemporary environment and exclusive, curated collection of fine fetish goods. Owners McBain and Ken Blochowski look forward to bringing the qualities which have made their retail store so successful—extensive personal product knowledge, attentive customer service and strong management backgrounds—to the newly formed venture.

Already the duo has implemented manufacturing practices which have increased JIMsupport’s quality and efficiency, enabling them to reduce prices on almost every item within the line. In addition, they’ve committed to a new, always-in-stock policy for both brand’s core items, shipping most retail and wholesale orders within twenty-four hours of receipt. 

Over the next year, customers can expect re-imagined online shopping experiences, exciting new and improved products, and enhanced merchandise availability through new retail partnerships worldwide. 

JIMsupport and LeatherStock have been two of our favorite vendors for years,” said Ken Blochowski, Fetish Locker Vice President and Marketing Director. To be able to re-launch these brands and share our love for them with new audiences is a dream come true.”

Trenton Ducati Visits Gear!

We love it when the porn boys come to visit. Yesterday new TitanMen Exclusive Trenton Ducati (@TrentonDucati) dropped in to try on new stuff for his upcoming shoot.

The first pic shows him in our awesome new leather Gladiator Harness (also available in neoprene) and a pair of vintage leather pants, and the second and third photos show him in our new neoprene Meat Packer Shorts with removable codpiece. These items are part of our new Rough Trade Collection and are only available in our Palm Springs store.

Rough Trade Now at Gear!

 

It's another Gear exclusive! Silverlake's edgy Rough Trade clothing and accessories are now available at Gear!

We've always admired Rough Trade's creative and colorful leather work, but lately we've been blown away by the stunning re-creations of their original designs in sexy neoprene. Now we carry a handpicked collection of both: leather armbands, wrist cuffs, knee pads and football pants; plus neoprene pouch shorts, gauntlets, hoods and caps. We can't wait to show you this new stuff!

Rough Trade Gear is only available in our Palm Spring store--and nowhere else in Southern California besides their LA headquarters.
