I love leather, but I don’t love killing, so I just have a bunch of fake leather jackets – and they suck. I would love lab grown leather and lab grown meat.
I’ve had them before. They are great. Leather is an amazing material for all sorts of stuff. I’ve sat on some amazing other sofas that I did not want to get up from, but that’s a lot of cows

I like the idea of lab grown leather that’s tweaked for desirable properties, thickness, toughness, suppleness…
Can we call it Fleather? 😅 F(ake)leather
Sounds good to me.
I’d rather wear Fleather than eat feat.
Mmm, the suppleness of Fleather™️ feels good on the skin, and in your mouth!
Don’t eat meat. Other people will. Enjoy leather.
No, I cannot enjoy the byproduct of the meat industry.
If you ride bite the bullet and get the leather Jacket. Nothing comes close for road rash prevention or water proofing.
Does that include modern materials like kevlar? I know mine was some kind of woven material with high viz sections on it
Yup. See fortnine video. I was supriaed too.
Kangaroo leather is actually one of the best kinds for motorcycle jackets.
