I don't think I'd buy anything leather 2nd hand either, never really was much of a fan of it in general. The coat I wear all the time is actually one won at a place I used to work.

I'm not one to say I'd never buy leather again, nor do I tell others not to. Though, sometimes it's more earth friendly than the man made alternatives which tend to wear out faster in some cases. Kind of a lose lose situation for me unfortunatly.

I've been pretty happy with non-animal alternative fabrics and items so far though and would get them again.

Well, it's off to a rough start on this end, but hey -- we have 11.5 months left.
