Regarding leather, repairability is superior to most synthetic options too. You can literally sand it down and dye it and smooth it out again after it wears.

- airhead969 6y agoLeather comes from animals and causes a lot of pollution. Nit: "Literally" is an unnecessary word in most circumstances.
- snypher 6y agoEveryone is literally eating the animals and we use the leftover leather.
- jjeaff 6y agoIn this case, literally is there for a reason, albeit, imprecisely. It implies you can actually get sandpaper at the hardware store and use that to physically sand leather down like one sands wood. Rather that some specialty tool or process. And until we start killing cows and discarding the carcass just for the leather, I can't imagine the processing is any worse than synthetic, usually petroleum based substitutes.
