So how long until we start seeing this as a strop mmaterial? I'm sure the hipsters who dive into vintage things ironically, while eating their hamburgers made from a bean curd byproduct, whirling down the road in their hybrid car that is 98% biodegradable on their way to a seminar on how to become a successful homesteading vlogger... would madly clamor for it!

Hmmm... Sorry if I might have insulted the few hipster types I've seen around the forum. That little ranty bit was meant in jest, honest. I'm not bothered by the likes... so long as there is a lack of strong b.o. and/or patchouli smell that overwhelms even my dull sense of smell lol. But that goes for anyone I meet lol.

Oh, 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 was looking for information on strops and came across this thread. Thanks for the link.

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

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.

I did not even look at it! I feel so much better!

My non faux fury wall hanging

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide

I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of a human skull
Now come on take a walk with me Arlene
And tell me who do you love?

I don't need no stinking lab rat making my strops.....
