The Corps
Alta California Leather Corps (ACLC) (formerly Alameda County Leather Corps) is a a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving Northern California. The club is composed mostly of residents of Northern California, with many members residing in the Bay Area and Sacramento regions.
Our purpose is to promote educational and charitable activities through social interaction among people with an interest in leather, Levi’s, uniforms, and latex.
Originally loosely organized as a part of the Imperial Star Empire of Alameda County, the first Mr. Alameda County Leather contest was staged in 1992. ACLC in its current incarnation was formally organized in 1993, and our 501(c)(3) status was granted in 1999. In 2019, ACLC expanded our focus from Alameda County to all of Northern California.
Our primary mission is to provide education, fund-raising and fellowship.
