SML invites the community to enjoy brunch and celebrate the 2026 Seattle Leather Daddy and Daddy's boy titleholders. Presale tickets ONLY - there will be no tickets available at the door. Brunch tickets will also be available for purchase in-person at the Meet & Greet as well as the Contest.

Eligibility:
A contestant must be a member of SML who is in good standing.

Voting:
Judges for the contest are the members of Seattle Men in Leather. One of the longest traditions with this contest has been the club members having a say in selecting their title ambassadors, so the members choose their titleholders. Each attending SML member receives a ballot to vote for Seattle Leather Daddy and for Daddy’s boy through ranked choice voting (or to hold back and cast a “no” vote).

Expectations:
The Seattle Leather Daddy and Daddy’s boy titleholders are expected to put on or participate in a few club fundraisers during the year, and they are encouraged to do additional fundraising events of their own. The titleholders are not expected to compete at regional, national, or international contests, and they may not hold another leather title during their year. More detailed information about titleholder expectations can be found in the application packet.
