HISTORY

Our Intent on this page is to introduce you, the active player to the hanky code of colors.
Flagging colors was a mainstay in the leather bars in the 70's and 80's but died out in the 90's.

Times have changed and the colors have been added, colors for both men and women, but now with the
new millennium here, lets work together to educate a new generation of leather men and Leather women.
Once again begin to flag our color(s) with pride!

This guide is in no way meant to be complete as colors are added and regional differences may apply,
but it will give you a strong reference point to begin at.

A WORD OF CAUTION!

Bar lighting is notoriously bad, so it is wise to ask what color a person might be flagging before making a
serious move.  You might end up in a scene that you aren't prepared for!
Also, remember that colors worn on the left signifies a Top or Dominant role
while worn on the right signifies a Bottom or Submissive role.

Remember, this is ONLY a guide to help you on your way to having safe, sane fun.
