The iconic catalog for Leather'n'Things, the leather clothing store at 4079, 18th Street, on the corner of Castro and 18th Street, in San Francisco, with Colt model Ledermeister (a. K. A. Paul Gerrior) featured on the cover. "In the early 1970's, every man in the City, and every tourist, picked up multiple copies of the handsomely produced catalog which was first published in 1969 and was kept in print until around 1974. That Leather'n'Things Catalog was like a pre-Drummer Magazine mockup of Drummer and should be included in every complete collection of Drummer. There are twenty-seven iconic photographs of the hairy and muscular Paul Gerrior stripped to the waist in leather, in sheepskin, with gun in holster, with cigarette, and ultimately sized up with a cloth tape measure in two photos in which his awesome body, wearing briefs, is divided into a grid to guide mail-order customers how to measure themselves," as it is described by author Jack Fritscher in "Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer - A Memoir of the Sex, Art, Salon, Pop Culture War, and Gay History of Drummer Magazine, Volume 1" E-108; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
