It's a short article describing the strange materials people are experimenting with to make clothing. There is mushrooms, pineapple, PVC, and others. It's light on details (maybe there are other better articles with more technical information), but I thought it was interesting and worth sharing and discussing.

I agree, leather is a fine material. You can make it from lots of animals, too. To not use it would be wasting a significant part of the animal. If a cow is going to be slaughtered for meat wouldn't we rather every part of it be used?
Also, you can't really do Steampunk without leather. God help the prisses who try to take Steampunk from us!

Ethically, this is the part I have a problem with. I have no wish to support nor create demand for that happening in the first place. Somehow I doubt tanners get their hides for free from the meat industry. Happy to be proven wrong with a citation though.
If a cat has kittens, does a rat have rittens, a bat bittens and a mat mittens?
