These Leather Daddies Are Showing The Younger Generation How To Wear It
We’ve noticed a resurgence of a classic look on our feeds lately, and we’re not complaining.
It is not just about the gear, though. It is about the attitude. The confidence. The community. From silver foxes rocking harnesses to educational creators dissecting the quality of the hide, the “leather daddy” archetype is evolving.
If your feed is looking a little dull, we have curated a list of five accounts that are serving serious leather energy right now.
Brian Sims
We have to start with the man of the moment. You might know him as the former Pennsylvania State Representative, but Brian Sims has recently traded policy for harnesses in the latest campaign for Nasty Pig. Seeing a former politician fully embrace the leather aesthetic is a powerful statement on visibility and authenticity. Plus, the silver beard and rugged confidence are exactly what we look for in a modern leather icon.
Silver Steele
This is where fitness meets fetish. Silver Steel (we love the commitment to the brand name) combines a bodybuilder physique with a love for high-quality leather gear. He is the perfect example of the “muscle daddy” archetype, proving that you can be over 50 and still out-lift guys half your age. His content is a mix of gym motivation and gear appreciation, often showcasing how well a harness sits on a 120cm chest.
Rene Hebert
You cannot talk about silver daddies in leather without mentioning Anthony Varrecchia. He is practically the blueprint for the rugged, grey-bearded muscle daddy aesthetic. While his feed covers fitness and lifestyle, his leather looks are legendary. He proves that sex appeal has no expiration date and that a well-fitted biker jacket is the only accessory a man really needs.
Zephyr Merkur
As the First Runner-up for International Mr Leather 2025 and the reigning Mr Eagle NYC, Zephyr Merkur is basically leather royalty right now. If you want a feed that connects you directly to the global circuit, he is a non-negotiable follow. We love seeing a titleholder who actually engages with the community, and his mix of polished gear and genuine advocacy makes him a standout addition to your feed.
Cole Connor
While he often leans into the wrestling and singlet fetish side of things, Cole Connor earns his spot here for the sheer attitude he brings to his gear. He combines a scruffy, boy-next-door handsomeness with a rugged, mischievous edge that works perfectly with leather.
