Welcome to the home of BLUF, the Breeches and Leather Uniform Fan Club. BLUF is a club for men who enjoy wearing breeches and leather uniforms. Founded in 1997, there are now over 4,000 members worldwide, and many of them meet in person at BLUF events.
On the BLUF menu, you can find out more about the club. The Community menu has our calendar of events and blog, while on the Info menu you can find many useful resources, including other clubs, vendors and venues around the world.
BLUF is one of the world's biggest communities for men into leather uniforms, with members in dozens of countries and around 100 events every year. Joining BLUF gives you access to our whole site, where you can meet other guys seriously into leather, create a profile, and become part of our community. We maintain a strict dresscode, which you can read about here.
Joining BLUF is free and open to men who meet our dresscode requirements. The site is run by volunteers, and owned by BLUF Ltd, a not-for-profit company based in the UK.

We're sorry to announce that Backstreet, London's leather bar, is set to close its doors on 17th July, after 37 years. You can read an appreciation of the bar in our blog post.
Following a long pause from gatherings because of the pandemic, BLUF Minneapolis is excited to return to enjoying time together. Friday, September 23, we will be hosting a cigar social to help kick-off Twin Cities Leather weekend (TCL Weekend).
The cities of Minneapolis/St Paul are known as the "Twin Cities," and TCL Weekend is one of our premier leather contest and events. On that weekend, leatherfolk from all over the Upper Midwest of the US come to the Twin Cities for a fantastic social time that includes gear nights, demos, socials and the Mr. TCL title contest.
BLUF Minneapolis will be sponsoring the Friday Cigar and Boots social at The Saloon. It will be the perfect evening to meet new BLUF friends, reconnect with old ones, and spend a relaxing time before the busier gear night that follows.

Following a rather long hiatus due to the pandemic, Minneapolis BLUF socials will be back this Fall! Look for event announcements. In the meantime, if in Minneapolis, join your fellow leather enthusiasts and kinksters at the monthly Tank event at the Saloon (third Friday of the month.)
Around the world, nations and borders change. Sometimes it happens dramatically, and cataclysmically, as in the former Yugoslavia, and sometimes it's more measured, the result of years of campaigning.
When it does happen, though, it means change, and a certain amount of upheaval. There will be those who don't like the result, and those who do. The hope is that, after any initial teething problems, everyone learns to live peacefully within whatever new framework has evolved.
It's not just the countries involved that have to change, of course; many people around the world have to do something - maybe just little things, like updating the list of countries they ship their products to, or the list of places that people can pick as home. These may seem simple, but very often they run considerably deeper.
So we come to BLUF. To varying degrees, I can think of a few countries where changes to how we do things may be necessary, to keep up with events. Québec in Canada has long had separatist parties; one day they may finally achieve enough votes to form a separate nation. In Europe, there is a movement to break Catalonia away from the rest of
…BLUF's website isn't just for our members. You'll find plenty of information available to non-members too, including our listings of leather and fetish vendors, leather venues, and local leather clubs, around the world.
The BLUF events calendar features events worldwide, organised by a wide range of clubs and other groups, and as well as BLUF topics, our blog often includes posts of general interest to the leather community.
Members of BLUF also have access to our online magazine, which includes reports from BLUF events, exclusive photo galleries, and even short stories written by other members. The member forum provides places to share tips or ask for help on a range of topics, incuding For Sale and Wanted sections, travel advice and more.
On your BLUF profile, you can even let people know if you have a guest room, or can show them round your city, and our sophisticated search tools can help you find a bed in a city, or even someone who's into the same things as you, with a playroom, who rides a bike and speaks German.
We're committed to keeping BLUF membership free, with all members getting all the functions of the site. BLUF is funded by donations and sales of BLUF merchandise. Members who donate to BLUF qualify for the BLUF card, which gives discounts at a range of vendors, including Boxer, Clone Zone, Fetish Freak, Mister B and Regulation.
