A North Carolina startup found a way to grow real leather from cow cells in a lab, a sustainable breakthrough that could cut emissions and eliminate slaughter in the $400 billion leather industry.
I love leather, but I don’t love killing, so I just have a bunch of fake leather jackets – and they suck. I would love lab grown leather and lab grown meat.
I’ve had them before. They are great. Leather is an amazing material for all sorts of stuff. I’ve sat on some amazing other sofas that I did not want to get up from, but that’s a lot of cows

If you ride bite the bullet and get the leather Jacket. Nothing comes close for road rash prevention or water proofing.
Kangaroo leather is actually one of the best kinds for motorcycle jackets.

A short science rich explanation of why it’s unbeatable while being dragged behind a motorcycle.
Hahaha, i’m not sure I ever plan on being dragged behind a motorcycle, however… This is good information to have thank you
Does that include modern materials like kevlar? I know mine was some kind of woven material with high viz sections on it
Yup. See fortnine video. I was supriaed too.
I like the idea of lab grown leather that’s tweaked for desirable properties, thickness, toughness, suppleness…
Can we call it Fleather? 😅 F(ake)leather
Sounds good to me.
I’d rather wear Fleather than eat feat.
Mmm, the suppleness of Fleather™️ feels good on the skin, and in your mouth!
Don’t eat meat. Other people will. Enjoy leather.
No, I cannot enjoy the byproduct of the meat industry.
