Welcome to Columbia Leather Order

Here in Columbia Leather Order — or just CLO to our friends — we believe in showing up for each other. We’re a family of leatherfolk and allies, bound together by respect, authenticity, and a shared love for this community we call home.

Our story isn’t just about leather or tradition — it’s about people. The ones who taught us, the ones who walk beside us, and the ones still finding their way. Whether you’ve been part of the leather world for decades or are just starting to explore, there’s a place for you here. We honor the history and values that built our community while embracing every identity, orientation, and background that makes it stronger today.

Reinstated in 2013, CLO continues to grow through fellowship, mentorship, and service — not just to one another, but to the broader community around us. We host bar nights, social events, and gatherings where laughter, learning, and connection happen side by side. While CLO is a leather organization distinct from the BDSM community, we warmly welcome those from every corner of kink who share our spirit of respect and inclusion.

So if you’re curious about who we are, come meet us. Ask questions. Share a drink. Trade stories. You don’t have to know all the traditions — just bring an open heart and a little courage.

CLO is more than a club. It’s a circle of belonging — a chosen family where strength and compassion live side by side.

Welcome home.
