Before San Francisco was a postcard, it was a proving ground — and The Caldron was where the city’s sexual revolution hit full boil. Opened in 1976 on Folsom Street, it was a legendary all-male sex club where leather, liberation, and raw honesty mixed with the fog and the bass.
Part ritual, part rebellion, The Caldron was unapologetically about desire — not sanitized, not hidden, just lived. In a time when queer intimacy was still taboo, it gave men a place to claim their bodies and their freedom on their own terms.
This shirt honors that fearless slice of San Francisco history — the nights that burned bright, the community that rose from it, and the men who refused to be anything less than themselves.
