About Us

Meet Darren and Gordon — partners in life since 2002 and the cheeky duo behind Backroom Gear. We’ve always been part of Brisbane’s queer and kink community, joining Brisbane BootCo in 2019 and photographing countless BrisBears and BootCo nights along the way. Our roots are in the scene, not just selling into it.

Backroom Gear was born during lockdown, when we were sick of being served the same boring plain tees online. We craved something louder, filthier, and unapologetically queer — so we decided to make it ourselves. What started as a fun experiment quickly turned into a brand that’s as much about community as it is about clothing.

For us, it’s about more than just slapping a design on a shirt. It’s about creating gear that helps you own your space, whether you’re hitting a Pride parade, dancing ‘til dawn, or sweating it out at a kink party. Every design is a wink, a statement, and a little bit of filth — made to flatter real bodies and spark real confidence.

We print everything on demand, so your order is made just for you. It means less waste, more thoughtful production, and gear that feels as personal as it looks.

So throw on a tee, show off a cap, or grab a cheeky mug — and join us in spreading laughs, pride, and a little bit of mischief, one shirt at a time.
