Would you like to have a jacket made out of cloth? Or would you like a jacket made out of long-lasting leather? Many people like leather more than other fabrics. They think it is beautiful, durable, and has a nice aroma. Leather is also very fashionable. However, some people do not like to wear leather. Their conscience makes them feel bad. They do not want to wear the skin of animals.

Well I am kind of ambivalent also. I am against using the furs for clothing, it’s really so cruel, but I have leather purse and shoes, I do not like shoes that are made out of synthetic materials.

I can’t live without leather. I like good leather shoes, bags, wallets, belts… And I have many. But I don’t have any leather jacket in my wardrobe… May be I haven’t met mine yet?

I think I’m getting more anti leather person. I love animals and the idea, a purse made from their skin makes me feel sad. I’ll go for a knitted, plastic, fabric purse. And vegetarian thing is not bad as well. It’s healthier. Who is with me? Let’s go green tea lovers!

I am so glad to hear Sara’s voice again . I like leather seat in my car , It is easy to clean . I have a leather jacket  as well . Well, God creates some animals for some purpose like cows eat grass , humans eat beef and when humans and cows die become food for grass , the cycle is never end.

Well, I have no some even never and of course I wont. I’m in a mind which is thinking that we shouldnt wear any kinds of leather from skin of animals. Hunting of them then kill em, it seems like we force our style by the way we kill. what a poor.
