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.

If you ride bite the bullet and get the leather Jacket. Nothing comes close for road rash prevention or water proofing.

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

Hahaha, i’m not sure I ever plan on being dragged behind a motorcycle, however… This is good information to have thank you

It was an interesting and well made video, except for his insistence that leather’s structure is “intelligent”, when it’s actually evolutionarily refined over millions of years natural selection. He also went on to say that human engineers would have to be gods to mimic it. Granted this article hadn’t been published yet, and ironically the little leather key wrap he’s hawking at the end of the video looks like a great candidate for this lab grown leather.
