>fake leather jackets last as long as real leather jackets

>>11960560

Perhaps if you plan to spend $50 at whatever store.

Once you get into the actual price range of decent leather then you can immediately tell the difference.

hell even look at dress shoes, fake leather shoes always look shitty.

Pleather doesn't cut the wind on a motorcycle like real leather does.

>>11960560
agree. there's a reason every high end fashion house out there have a faux leather option

>>11960594

That's because vegans

caring about animals is /fa/

>>11960594
And that reason is ethics, absolutely not aesthetics
Real leather is superior in all aspects

>>11960560
you cannot beat real leather. done. deal./

>>11960560
they're not as good. Pleather lacks structure and thickness of real leather.

nice bait though.

Leather is the more ethical choice. If you actually care about the planet you do not spend on synthetics which take thousands of years to degrade, poisoning the environment as they do so.

>>11960625
oh yeah cause farming cows has no detrimental environmental effects r-right

>>11960631

It's significantly less detrimental to environment than producing fake leather is.

>>11960613

you probably have lots of experience with different price ranges of synthetic leather.
your statements seems to be based on years of handling synthetic leather of all kinds in person.

thanks for the insight senpai

wow.
please check your facts

>>11960643

Animal leather is a byproduct of agricultural farming. Regardless of whether the leather is used or not the environmental impact remains the same.

Manmade leather requires a variety of chemicals, most pleather is made with PVC which even Greenpeace hates.

There are a wide breadth of articles you can consult each of which are cited, I know that if I give you a specific one you will pick holes in only that article's validity.

>>11960560
No, it isn't as good. Which is why high-end leather makers use it.

The cost of a leather jacket is hardly due to the cost of the leather material, as leather is relatively cheap. It's the manhours gone into processing the leather and sewing the jacket.

>>11960560

Confirmed for never owning a real leather jacket.

>>11960643
Most fake leather is plastic

You know, an OIL byproduct.

Oil fucks up the environment more than methane does.

Oh, and methane can also be converted to energy, so once Big Oil stops gerrymandering, farmers will be able to capture methane and use it to power their farms.

Oh, and capturing cow farts takes far less of a toll on the environment than oil drilling as well

>>11960665
But cows should be treated just like domesticated cats. Stop using reason !

>>11960604
no it's faggy

>>11960560
This is bait.

Sorry but fashion is all about hedonism.

>>11962275
>pleather has more varience
