I work in aerospace in aircraft interiors. Some airlines use tapis ultraleather for aircraft seat covers, which is a synthetic (vegan) leather. From their website:
Ultraleather® by Ultrafabrics®, a premium portfolio of polyurethane (performance) fabrics, is ideally suited for aircraft settings that require the look and feel of leather, but need a more durable and practical alternative. PVC free and designed for longevity, Ultraleather® is ideal for a variety of uses including high wear applications, while offering a soft and supple hand. https://www.tapiscorp.com/products/ultraleather/ .....

I didn't think cows ate meat, fish or dairy, so isn’t all leather vegan?
(I’ll get my own coat, thanks)

I wonder now, would a vegan mother breast feed her young if she wanted them brought up vegan? |

Can't stand this vegan bollocks. Why should we suffer with plastic seat trim because a small minority don't want it?
The militant vegans really get me, especially the hypocrites. I was targeted on the tube last week for eating a ham sandwich by one, saying I was responsible for killing the earth and disrespecting their veganist views by eating meat. The clown was sat with holding a leather MK handbag and wearing Dr Martens...

Saw a sign outside a butchers in Crail last week, it read. Every day hundreds of thousands of plants are killed by vegetarians. Help stop this murder. Eat meat. Paul. |

i.e. Vegan Leather = pvc free. And cutting down on pvc ain't a bad thing in my books. I now expect a bombardment on the 'ins and outs' of pvc!

But being 'ox' related would that not be genuine leather - or am I just being a 'moron'?

Thanks all I now stand educated
Still prefer the real stuff to any plastic alternative. Anyway the rest of the animal with a leather interior so not exactly going to waste. Right off to find me some Biltong to munch.
