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.

    Name call? Did I slip up and call someone a bloodmouth or something?

    I don’t think I called anyone any names, I just pointed out the fact that this reverse “gatcha” where people pretend like wearing leather is actually the more ethical choice is ridiculous. I have more respect for unapologetic leather wearers, at least they aren’t lying to themselves.
