About Mates

A kick-back, have a good time, meet some hot new friends weekend for those who want to hang out, socialize, relax or party with other like-minded people in Leather, Rubber and Uniforms.

Mates Leather Weekend is brought to you by Rick Conley, longtime Provincetown resident and leatherman. I want to thank all MLW sponsors, friends and past participants who have contributed to the success of Mates Leather Weekend. I’m grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made along the way.

I take great pride in the quality of men and women that attend MLW. There is no attitude here, just folks that are down-to-earth, friendly, and nice to look at. It takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this. I hope you enjoy it.

What They Are Saying

Attended the 2007 competition and totally enjoyed every aspect of the event. It got me thinking about entering the competition for 2008. A great event guys, keep up the good work!

This was my first Mates Leather weekend and I had a blast! You have no idea what a boost it was - and everyone was so friendly. Thanks again. I will be booking holidays for next year - that's for sure.

Just got back from my first Mates Weekend. What a blast! Loads of very hot men and a variety of activities. Best of all, everyone was so damn friendly. Can't wait for next year. Thanks, Rick!

You've done it again! Another hot, fucking Mates Weekend. An awesome X Anniversary! I had a great time and definitely lost any inhibitions -- to say the least -- met some friendly, very playful guys and got to wear leather all weekend. Looking forward to next time!
