Thanked: 458Oh, God, I couldn't agree more about the wanna be "homesteaders" who run their "self sufficient" homesteads by relying on ad links and pretending to be experts.
None are remotely close to the level of self sufficiency the average farmer had in the 1930s, except those folks felt no need to market their personalities to anyone or claim to be experts.
"I'm here to tell you about today's self sufficient organic all natural food product, only $36.42 a pound!! a must have!! support me by buying something through my amazon store" (oops, forgot to tell you, the viewer, that this is a paid spot or that I was given a bunch of free product to push it). "Tomorrow, we'll have a video where i try to attempt to assign guilt to you for not pretending to move into the hills and be 'self sufficient', too".
There will be one faction of those people who will not use the fake leather because they'll say that it causes you to have DNA rearrangement due to "toxic chemicals", and another who says that you must use it because it's not animal products, and that we're ruining the earth by raising too many animals.

I think lab grown leather is a really cool concept. I'd love some seamless leather clothes.

I wont be getting that lost time back again
what happy vegans they must be, just rape the earth of its none renewable resources for oil products to make Fake non-vegan animal products so that can fit in with fashion.
if it wasn't for meat their brains would not have evolved to the stage that they could make such choices of animal welfare
OK I admit I'm not vegan or vegetarian I am an Omnivore & like it
what can I say, I love horn, bone or ivory scales & leather strops
Saved,

i know that Tony Miller sells vegan strops, but as a leather lover i can't make myself buy anything non leather that should be real leather (shoes,boots strops, jackets ,holsters etc.) it's just not right to waste a good animal hide.

"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I have been doing hobby leatherwork for over 20 years. The crazy thing about people who don't want to use leather is that leather is a by-product of the meat industry. It is something that would have otherwise been thrown away, until there was a market developed for it. So if this kind of thing really did catch on, the hides that are now being used for leather might end up not getting used. If I think about this stuff too much it will just make my head spin.
Vegan leathers are a very different thing, and are full synthtics. I don't think they do a great job in having similar properties to real leather.

Thanked: 3215So, how many strops can you get from a vegan, allowing for knees and elbows and such?
