How do you take a seemingly innocent, young Ivy League lad and rough him up into a sweaty, ready leather daddy? Here’s a quick primer on just that process, as captured at Touche’s Leather Eye For the Preppy Guy makeover contest, Sat., April 28. The winner received $500 in fresh leather gear from SHEL-don Leathers and two tickets to the International Mr. Leather contest, Sun., May 27 at the Hyatt Regency. Proceeds and raffles from the night also helped raise much-needed funds for Vital Bridges’ Groceryland Pantry.
