Hey, there's me! And there I am again! And there I am again! Oh, right. Cal, this was amazing. You're the best, and so are, well, all of us - we've been so inspired to be our best and not only that but to share it with the world thanks to your example. I'm so glad to hear the shared stories and emotions. When I heard the story about watching the bikers from the car, I instantly said "hey, me too!". It's great to hear and share...and to feel so widely accepted.
Bogmire42 when Mark was talking about being drawn to the leatherclad bikers at such a young age, that hit me deeply. That was me too. And so many of us. ❤️
Such an honour to be part of the #Gear365 family. This video is such a powerful tool for those exploring their fetishes and finding them selves. Puppy licks and tail wags from Ireland 🇮🇪 Wuuf 🐾
Well done, Cal!! Thanks for putting this together. I could relate to several of the comments. And it was cool to finally hear the voice of Rubber 'N' Leather. Thank you for including him. I had only heard him speak a few soft words in French (which I don't understand) till now. This really helps me feel more comfortable. Maybe I can go outside in my pants again one of these days.
I'm flattered that you appreciate my participation. I actually have quite a few videos where I speak for longer. I might make a longer one on the importance to express myself in gear, what it feels like and means to me.
Such a great video. Thanks Cal and everyone, it's an honour to be a part of this and to see and hear so many different yet similar stories. Get out there, you're not alone :)
I wore leather jeans for the first time at work today. Thanks for giving me the courage to do that! Although I got the ribbing I was expecting, feedback from colleagues was largely positive. I'm definitely going to do it again.
Socklesslad, I AM PROUD OF YOU! I sincerely hope you do. The more you step out there in leather jeans, the easier it becomes -- and the more empowered you feel. Its infectious!
@@CalRider Thanks! I've worn leather jeans to work a few times now and haven't had any negative comments so I'm going to keep wearing them! I wear a leather jacket and boots every day anyway, so on these days the only thing I wear that isn't leather is my shirt. I'm enjoying the experience.
@@socklesslad Have you noticed how the girls at work react.? The idea that girls assume that guys wearing leather jeans must automatically be gay is a complete myth.
As a young gay man in his early 20s that’s been ashamed of my fetishes my entire life, this channel, this video, this movement, truly is giving me a lot of hope that I deserve to feel proud to be my kinky, leather self no matter what. It really helps to know that there’s so many others like me out there. Thank you Cal Rider for making me bawl my eyes out and feel so special and loved ❤
Thanks for putting this together. I think it was something I needed. Today was very emotional as I had to throw away my first leather jacket which I've had for over 25 years. It wasn't easy but the stitching was coming apart, the zip had stopped working and it was basically unwearable. I only kept it for nostalgia - it had been everywhere with me. I'm regretting not having taken more care of it as a teenager.... Still, this video has made me more positive and reminded me to keep wearing my leathers!

Hey Leham, I know this answer seems so simplistic, but its true... its as simple as wearing a piece of gear out in your everyday life. Something simple, like a jock, gloves, boots... or something a little more like a shirt, pants or jacket. Its all about finding ways of expressing who you are. Please feel free to join the Gear365 Facebook group. A great community of thousands of gear lovers who all took those first steps. Hope to see you out there! - Cal
Just a couple quotes, "i love gear and gear loves me back" and "wear it pride and don't forget you're beautiful as you are" ... I insist that's easier said when you actually have hot fancy gear, you live up to the "gear standard" and you actually look good in it.
It's actually part of the message, it doesn't have to be expensive gear. The pants I had on cost me €99 which is not really high-end price. We all start from somewhere and some have been saving and/or building their collection for decades. As long as you're happy with your gear and feel good wearing it, you gain confidence. People will always have nicer stuff, but the important thing is it be happy with what you have and who you are :)
Wear what you can, doesn't need to be expensive, anything you find that makes you feel good, most of my gear in this video is second hand and wasn't expensive. Wuuf 🐾
Henry - behind every face in that video... and including the man writing this comment... we all struggle with body confidence issues. We're not models, we're all imperfect human beings. The point of Gear365 is to blow the door off the 'gear is only for models' mentality, and make it something that can be enjoyed by ALL GEAR LOVERS, of any body type, background, orientation, etc and so forth. I hope you will gear up -- because you deserve to live what you enjoy.
@@CrkRvk My jeans are unpadded biker pants from a company that sells them for riding around town and not having to change all the time. Being top grain cowhide, they have survived months of rough wear, including the night that their were no ashtrays at a party and a guy used them to stub his cigarettes out. 😊 The jeans are made and supplied next day by a reputable company here in the UK. They charge about $20 to ship to the US which takes around 3 days. www.bikersparadise.co.uk/Men's-Heavy-Duty-Leather-Jeans.html
Wonderful video! Lots of strong messages. Great channel. Excellent gear videos.
