Gear Leather and Fetish Acquires JIMsupport and LeatherStock; Forms Fetish Locker Inc.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif.—Gear Leather and Fetish announced today that it has acquired the JIMsupport brand of portable steel BDSM furniture and eScents Of LLC, the maker of LeatherStock premium leather-scented products. It has consolidated all three businesses under a new corporate entity, Fetish Locker Inc. “It’s a huge honor to have been chosen to carry on the legacies of such widely regarded gay men’s fetish brands,” said Fetish Locker President and CEO John McBain. “We look forward to leveraging their existing strengths as well as bringing both lines to the broader kink/fetish/BDSM marketplace.” Founded in 2005, Gear Leather & Fetish has delighted kinky shoppers with its beautiful environment and exclusive, curated collection of the world’s finest fetish goods. Owners McBain and Ken Blochowski look forward to bringing the qualities which have made their retail store so successful—extensive personal product knowledge, outstanding customer service and exceptional business acumen—to the newly formed venture. Already the duo has established manufacturing practices which have increased JIMsupport’s quality and efficiency, enabling them to slash wholesale prices. In addition, they’ve committed to a new, always-in-stock policy for both brand’s core items, shipping most retail and wholesale orders within 24 of receipt. Over the next year, customers can expect re-imagined online shopping experiences, exciting new and improved products, and enhanced merchandise availability through new retail partnerships worldwide. JIMsupport and LeatherStock have been two of our favorite vendors for years,” said Ken Blochowski, Fetish Locker vice president and marketing director. "To be able to re-launch these brands and share our love for them with new audiences is a dream come true.” To learn more about the Fetish Locker family of companies, visit the website at FetishLocker.com.
