Leather is murder anyways.
Wonder what the people who are downvoting this are thinking. Is it not murder, or is it only a restproduct of murder?
I wonder what people who upvote this are thinking, obviously the point is moot unless you are also vegan. And who upvotes someone going “meat is murder” in the comment section.

Agreed. I don't purchase leather anymore but when I did I still knew genuine leather is pretty much junk.

Could you please add a "Why YSK:"? It's rule #2. Thank you. :)
Sorry, fixed!
Anyone that watched TV in the 1970s knows that Corinthian leather is the best grade of leather you can get anyway.
It's like leather veneer, in most cases.
That’s bonded leather.
All I can say is that it's still at least leather. Most things (e.x., belts) will say "manmade leather" or "manmade materials" and they are fake and break. The genuine leather belt I have has been working for 4 years without snapping.
Still better to get full grain leather. Guinie leather is to full grain leather as particle board is to solid wood.
So genuine leather is made of nutsacks, udders, and assholes pressed together with a veneer piece of taint stretched over it to make it look like full grain leather.

It seems so odd too because if I didn't know better, I'd assume "Full or Top Grain" was lower quality than "Genuine Leather" just by how the phrases sound.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
