Opened in 1958 by the legendary Chuck Renslow, the Gold Coast was Chicago’s first leather bar—and one of the first in the world. Tucked into the basement of the now-famous Man’s Country complex, it set the standard for leather culture with its strict dress codes, dark corners, and bold celebration of gay masculinity. A true pioneer, the bar helped launch the International Mr. Leather contest and shaped queer nightlife for generations. Gold Coast closed in 1987, but its legacy still echoes in leather bars across the globe.
I use Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex tees for all of my designs. They are a soft and light cotton. If you love another brand, please let me know and I can see if I can source it. I can also do my designs on tanks, long sleeve tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and posters. Just reach out with any custom requests and I'll gladly help you out. I do like large prints, but if you want the design scaled down, please contact me before placing an order and I can send you some mock ups.
