While I try to avoid leather if I can, I would be lying if I said I was vigilant about that avoidance. Look, I know why so many people love leather. Especially calf skin leather. It’s like butter. It looks rich. And it smells natural.
Pleather has a funky, plastic smell. And it doesn’t breath at all so it makes me sweat awkwardly. And sometimes it looks cheap.
But sometimes it doesn’t. And I get to take comfort in knowing an animal wasn’t harmed in the making of my jacket. Many folks would disagree with me. But I feel like that knowledge far outweighs the luxury of leather.
