#old-guard

The symbol of ownership in D/s — and the ceremony of accepting a submissive's service.

The leather cap — traditionally reserved for Tops or experienced bottoms, and you never touch another man's.

The rules, ritual and etiquette of a D/s dynamic, party or the wider scene.

The romanticised early leather era (c.1945–late '60s) of tight-knit clubs, strict protocol and military-style BDSM hierarchy.
