Asymmetrical or Bulldog?

Why Gay Men Wear Harnesses

Harnesses moved from leather and biker culture into gay bars, Pride and the circuit scene, and today a gay harness is as much fashion as it is history. Daftboy harnesses are printed vegan straps in bold colors and Pride flags, made to be seen on the dance floor.

Men's Harness FAQs

What is a men's chest harness?

A chest harness is a set of straps worn over the chest and shoulders as a fashion accessory. Men wear them over a tee, a tank or bare skin to raves, Pride, circuit parties and club nights.

Which harness style should I choose?

The asymmetrical goes over one shoulder and is the easiest first harness. The bulldog has two shoulder straps and a chest strap, the classic look. The ultra-thin is a slim strap, and the suspender harness vest adds a drop back.

What size harness do I need?

Measure the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits. Then choose XS (32 to 36 in chest), S/M (37 to 42 in), L/XL (43 to 47 in) or Custom Chest Size for an exact fit.

Are your men's harnesses leather?

No. They are a vegan alternative to a leather harness, made from soft, water-resistant recycled polyester straps with zinc alloy rings and recycled plastic buckles.

Is a harness only for gay men?

No. Harnesses have deep roots in queer nightlife, and today men of every orientation wear them as fashion. Every Daftboy harness is unisex.

Are the harnesses made to order?

Yes. Every harness is handmade to order in Oakland, CA, and most orders ship within 5 business days. Shipping time starts after your harness is made.

Can I return or exchange a harness?

Because each harness is handmade to order and fitted to your size, harness sales are final. Orders can be changed or canceled within 2 business days of ordering.
