#I've been fortunate enough to find some vintage leather ones in other styles i like

I do think which form of fake leather something is should be specified. I want to know how soon I can expect it to start peeling. Calling it plastic is mainly to stick it to people who call it "vegan leather" as if it's better and more sustainable. (The problems with leather tanning are a whole other can of worms, but it does last for ages once it's made). It's just as bad to call it faux leather. It should be called vinyl or PU or whatever else it is, not just plastic and not just faux leather. I'm in favor of accuracy (same thing with food ingredients)

I know I said this before but the same logic that insists all faux leather should just be called “plastic” would force us to call both wool and real leather “protein”. We can’t even specify they’re both keratin, because we have just been forbidden to distinguish polyurethane leather from vinyl, we can only call them plastic.

How about you go off and sharpen a handax? The behaviorally modern humans are talking.
