@jeeves_ny: Replying to @Buzyz You should know that faux leather is plastic on top of fabric (usually cotton or cotton mixed with elastic) and it WILL break down and peel after only a few years of use. There is nothing you can do to avoid this or fix it once it occurs. The garment is simply no longer wearable and becomes another piece in a landfill. You should also know that 90% of leather on the market is a byproduct from the meat and dairy industry. Animals are not raised for their skin. It's a tough ethical debate between owning real vs. faux leather but based on someone who handles, cleans, and cares for both, I'd have to pick real leather #leather #fauxleather #veganleather #explained
faux leather lasts 2-3 years but genuine leather can last generations. choice is obvious

OMG, it’s soooo nice to hear that this isn’t preventable, I thought I was just losing the battle against dry rot!

I think ending on, "well since we're already overconsuming beef what else are we gonna do" is at the BEGINNING of the conversation, not the end.

THIS! I hate pleather with a passion. Real leather products can last for years and years. Good quality isn't cheap but it's so worth it.

plant leather is like a real alternative but personally I still prefer real leather and second hand is even better

This cheap thin faux leather gets ruined easily, but I have a faux leather backpack that I brought to university, commuting every day on buses/trains/subways. Still looks brand new.

Aren't their tiers of faux leather? why would Adidas switch to vegan leather then?

2-3 years? I’ve had my jacket for at least 6 years and it just started to do this. I will be buying a better quality this time around though!

I like the way it looks peeled like obviously if it’s peeing all over it doesn’t look that good but a little bit looks good
