I just love the material.I don't hate anybody for eating meat or wearing leather. I accept that the use and slaughter of animals is ingrained into almost every culture.
I do have a strong dislike for industrial consumerism and its excesses, and I believe that animals who are brought into existence and made to suffer to serve those excesses have been wronged horribly. Frankly, right now I'd be happy just to see people eat the dietary "requirement" of meat and no more.
Well I'm not an excessive consumer, but buying a good long lasting pair of leather shoes, coat and belt fits my preferences. It's not like all my clothes need to be made by animal skin
