-''"First, a bit of historical perspective will be more helpful than you might guess. '0ld Guard' is really a misnomer-a misapplied name-for the earliest set of habits that jelled by the mid- to late 1950s in the men's leather community here in the U. S. It is very important to remember that the modern leather scene as we now know it first formalized itself out of the group of men who were soldiers returning home after World War ll. (l939-1945)." ~Sir Guy Baldwin, M.S.''[http://www.amazon.com/Ties-That-Bind-Leather-Commentaries/dp/1881943097]

 The Old Guard when the concept was first coined, was used as a derisive statement to speak about the "old ways", considering them inferior.  The term "Old Guard" today has ironically come to mean many other often romanticized ideals that in some cases were never even associated with the Post WWII era of Gay [[SM]] and biker practices.  In some cases the term old guard has even been misappropriated as "The origin of Leather and SM Culture" or to indicate [[high protocol]] practices, which is entirely inaccurate as BDSM practices are dated back to at least roughly 3000 BC.

 The Leather Subculture typically includes both a style of dress and an affiliation with [[BDSM]] practice. Both the style of dress and the kinds of BDSM activities characteristic of a community may differ between gay, lesbian, and straight communities, and between Old Guard and newer generations of players.

 In recent decades the leather community has been considered a subset of BDSM culture rather than a descendant of gay or rainbow culture. Even so, the most visibly organized SM community has been a subculture of the gay community, as evidenced by International Mr. Leather in the US (established 1979) and SM Gays in the UK (established 1981). Meanwhile, other subcultures have likewise appropriated various leather fashions and practices.
