If leather looks good on me-and I end up having fun-maybe someday I'll go for the full rubber body suit. I'll be going to the Brown Elephant to look for items for my 'Ugly Betty' costume for Halloween, so I'll see what I can get for my flight to Chicago Eagle too. 'A leather jacket is fine with a white T-shirt under it and some black jeans,' he said. He also proposed that I check out Chicago Eagle on a slower weeknight, when I could take in the entire atmosphere and not get mobbed by the regulars who can spot fresh meat a mile away, lest I get scared off.Ī Leather Sport customer named Josh suggested I check out the Brown Elephant for some cheap starter gear. The worker suggested that I not invest too much money for one night, and pointed me to $50 vests, noting that even if I wear it three times a year, it's a decent investment. And according to an exhibit at the Leather Archives & Museum about the now-closed Mans Country bathhouse in Chicago, owner Chuck Renslow closed. Leather Sport has a large selection of leather pants, jackets, harnesses (which you wear like crisscross suspenders), thongs and other leathery goodness. I crossed my arms to hide my striped, American Eagle sweater-clearly I was not ready for this adventure.
