Another place to find quality leather wear and gear is at an equestrian shop.

    Pretty much everyone has some kind of clothing that they're turned on by, whether when worn by them or when worn by someone else. For a lot of people that clothing is a little risque: maid-style outfits, or pleated schoolgirl skirts, or stockings and suspenders. For some it's a whole other fetish in its own right, such as PVC corset and latex catsuits. Whatever your preference, there will be something out there that turns you on - so get shopping! Our magazine section has plenty of articles on how to find clothes you love, even in sizes that are sometimes difficult to track down or styles that aren't always super common.
    Latex is a flexible, flattering and versatile material used in all kinds of ways in the kink community. It's great for costumes of all shapes and sizes, latex dresses and latex catsuits are popular examples, and it's also a fantastic material for all kinds of toys and bondage gear. Bear in mind though that it does need some looking after; you need to be careful to only use water-based lubricants with your latex gear, and to rub your latex clothes dry with talcum powder after wiping them clean with some slightly soapy water. Pretty much any item of clothing has a latex counterpart, from stockings to hair accessories, so with a little shopping around you're bound to find something that suits you.
    Clothing and material fetishes come in many forms. Patent leather can hold a wide range of associations: it's dark and tough and sexy, but it's also traditionally associated with the shiny shoes you may have worn with a party dress in your childhood. This makes it beloved of old-school kinksters and age play aficionados alike, and with its long-wearing durability and striking good looks you can't go wrong. It also has a distinctive texture, a noticeable scent and a tendency to need a little care and maintenance from time to time - all of which are things that make it a great option for new additions to your kinky wardrobe.
