>big leather somehow convinced consumers to think of wear & tear as "natural patina"
you can just continue wearing rayon and spandex, ranjesh
>>18662468i'd rather something be worn in than worn out. but keep wearing plastic if that's what you're into
>>18662511Found the triggered /btg/ faggot lmao>>18662513Sure, I'm not denying the durability or longevity of leather. But it's just funny that some people have been basically mind-tricked into thinking of the cosmetic wear as a positive desirable thing. It's almost like the whole pre "distressed" jeans thingWhen a car's paint gets scratched by a shrub or something, nobody talks about it like some fags do with veg tan leather.>oh nice, the car is developing a nice PATINA! so much CHARACTER, it really tells a STORY of where this car has been! every little scratch is a MEMORY of an ADVENTURE I went on in this car!! *soifaces and cums*
>>18662468>kill like a million cows a week>no bro the leathers expensive trust me>now pay 3k for this jacket
>>18663948leather is a byproduct of the food industry, but you gotta remember that most of that leather is garbage. lots of shitty belly leather, unusable due to scars and blemishes on the animal, or just low quality in general.there isn't a scarcity of leather, but there is a scarcity of GOOD leatherand you gotta remember, calf leather is prized for things like dress shoes, bags, etc. because it is soft with a tight grain, but not a lot of people are eating veal anymore, so less calves are being slaughtered for food, so good calf leather is getting more and more expensive
>>18662468>>big leather somehow convinced consumers to think of wear & tear as "natural patina"Wouldn't they want to convince you of the opposite so that you buy more shit instead of holding on to used things?
>>18663960That would be fast fashion's strategy with stuff like PU leather and polyester clothes. I guess since big leather can't compete in that category (due to price), they pivot to this alternative strategy of appealing to BIFL people. (Even though many supposed "BIFL" enthusiasts end up consooming like 20 different pairs of leather boots anyways, just look at /btg/ lmao)
>>18663932funny pic thanks for sharing

>>18664032its a scary pic actually, kangaroos defend themselves from wild dogs by going into pools and drowning whoever comes in to get them. They are really good at this.
