Why YSK: The term “Genuine Leather” is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

  • why don’t we flay off the skins of all dead people and wear those too?

    Because human skin makes really shitty quality leather. It’s not nearly thick enough.

    Human bodies aren’t even fit for composting, given the amount of pharmaceuticals and forever chemicals most have in their bodies by the time they die.
