It costs that much to be a leather daddy?

Good leather is expensive

Not personally into that scene, but if you want high quality custom leather, you're easily looking at hundreds of dollars per piece.

At a minimum. The leather corsets my ex makes can run several thousand dollars. They're as nice as anything out there, and bespoke for the client, but it's a single wardrobe piece that doesn't actually need to survive rough use like cuffs, collars, arm binders and hoods do, and they're still expensive as hell.

There is a whole spectrum out there. Want stuff that looks the part but can't really play the part? (Think clothing that is pleather or some plastic-derivative, restraints that wouldn't hold up to a person really trying to get out.) That's fairly cheap. You could outfit a whole party with a thousand dollars.

Now if you get into the other end of the spectrum, you might be talking custom made clothing with countless little features that can actually stand up to whatever abuses you might subject to it. You probably just increased the price by an order of magnitude. Now it's one person can have a reasonably well outfitted kit that looks and plays the part.

Quality handmade leather goods and their fittings, particularly those that expect to see regular use, are expensive no matter the purpose. A single bespoke leather full corset like my ex wife makes can cost several thousand dollars. The materials alone can cost several hundred dollars. High quality fittings (buckles, D rings, welded rings, and such) and leather for heavy BDSM gear are even more expensive.
