Why Not was the first dedicated leather bar in San Francisco, launching in 1962 in the Tenderloin before relocating to SoMa. Though its original stint was brief—it closed within a year—it laid the groundwork for what would become one of the world’s most vibrant queer leather communities. With its strict dress code and unapologetic embrace of masculinity, Why Not sparked a cultural shift, inspiring a wave of leather bars and culminating in the iconic South of Market leather scene. Its legacy endures in the historic Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District and events like Folsom Street Fair, reminders that one bold venue can ignite a revolution.
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.
