The Leather Man, Inc. began on Christopher Street in New York City in June, 1965, before when our founder, Chuck Mueller, decided to pack in his day job to make leather clothing for himself & others. Most thought he was crazy at the time because “who, besides Chuck, would want to wear leather clothing?” We have come a long way since then.
