BLUF is a club for men who enjoy wearing breeches and leather uniforms. BLUF started as an internet club in 1997, there are now over 3,000 members worldwide. The dress code is strict, and the brief guidelines below should help you understand it. More detailed guidelines can be found at www.bluf.com/dresscode. What are breeches? - Breeches are trousers with 'balloons' on the thighs, as seen in pict
ures from Tom of Finland. Breeches, both leather and fabric are ok. So, a pair of fabric motorcycle or military breeches as part of a complete fabric uniform is acceptable. Leather Uniform - a full leather uniform is the preferred clothing for most BLUF members. That is tall boots, leather trousers (often breeches), with a leather shirt, tie, Sam Browne belt, gloves, cap and jacket. Police-style motorcycle outfits, including replicas, are ok. A uniform that is part leather is usually ok, for example a fabric uniform with a leather jacket, leather trousers or shirt, or a uniform that is mostly leather, with a fabric shirt. We appreciate that a full leather uniform can be expensive, and often some elements are omitted, for example, the jacket, or cap and sometimes one or more of the smaller items, but the 'Leather Uniform' idea is paramount for BLUF. The above means more than just leather trousers and a shirt with a patch on the sleeve, or a set of handcuffs. Tall boots that cover the trousers are generally preferable to shorter boots that are covered by trousers. What's not included - Fabric uniforms without breeches, bike leathers, other than police bike gear, chaps of any material, body harnesses, t-shirts and underwear, including jockstraps, sportswear, rubber, skinhead gear, cross-dressing, nudity and bare chests.
