1/1 Tio prefers to walk all leather and he is Mr. Skin: We’re not scary
Leather pants, tie or boots: 50-year-old Teo Lillifeld of Den Bosch wears them with pride. And his leather fetish has now earned him an impressive award. He might call himself mr. It is called Leather Holland. “Incredibly cool!”
“I never expected this,” Teo says, still high. Last weekend he won the title during Leather Pride Amsterdam. However, his mission to win the award was not yet fulfilled. “Now I’m just getting started. I want to show my face everywhere.”
“It is seen as dark or sloppy.”
According to skins fans, there is still a world to be won. “Men in skin are not intimidating or weird. It is still seen as dark or a bit dirty” and he wants to get rid of that stigma. “It’s really nice to wear leather. It’s an important part of the fetish and gay community.”
According to him, most of the parties in the world of fetish and leather are still in Randstad. Even guys with a soft “G” sometimes want to go to such a party near the house. That is why organizing meetings is an important objective of Mr. leather. “It’s very good to bring apprentices to Brabant,” says Teo.
“I easily lost 500 euros for pants.”

Although he is simply dressed in NS clothes for work, he was completely leather dressed on a huge poster at Amsterdam Central Station.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re big, or fat, or short, or whatever.”
Teo’s passion began when he inherited shoes and a leather jacket from his brother. Everything was really in place when he visited Belgium’s Darklands, one of the biggest pagan festivals in the world. “I was home! It doesn’t matter if you’re big, fat, short or whatever. You’re one of them!”
