Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *amzclothes* obsession with clothes and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
Can you speak to 100% cotton denim jeans and a pair with 20% tencel lyocell (non stretch)? Does cellulose based thread have similar properties to cotton?
Oh that's so fun! I like it as a work of art and a demonstration of craft (especially the embroidered pair, that's incredibly cool), but i have absolutely no interest in them as a worn piece - i dont think jeans are interesting enough on their own that i want to wear them in comfort and/or luxury. to me theyre the same as any other runway show-off piece: the question is "how on earth did they do that?" not "where can i buy that?"
I agree with you on the leather made to look like denim. My question would be..why??🤷♀️ It seems like they want to hide the fact that they are wearing leather. Like when they wear hole-filled, shredded clothing to look like us poor folk😅. I too, hope for a future with our protein being made from non-animal sources. I do wear jeans that are more like tights. They stretchy and I love them- especially for the comfort😊
Interesting way of getting denim without it being denim. Looks cool and took quite a bit of work to create the effect. I'm going to pass on it. I prefer real denim. I know a few folks that work in slaughter houses, the hides are sold to large scale tanners. Calves are slaughtered for veal first then the calf skin leather. I prefer leather to the plastic alternatives. A bit of care to the leather products and they will last a very long time as belts or wallets. I love my leather handbags and shoes. None of it is high end but is sturdy and worn for years.
I doubt calves and lambs are specifically bred for their hides. Industrial animal farming is using absolutely every part of the animal, the hair, the hides, the meat, the blood, the bones, the fat, the innards, even the horns and hooves.
Clarification of leather goods, it's a byproduct of the meat industry. The leather comes from a 500 lb cow, it's not the extremely small newborn cows your imagining. Lambskin is also a body product of the Lamb or sheep meat industry. It's not newborn animals we're eating animals that have green gone the pasture Adult food but instead of growing them to continue to grow them they are slaughtered early for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's running out of water in the area it's the cost of growing them it could be the cost of the old one up and the farmer wants to make more money than if they waited to get a full grown cow. These are not the animals that are grown just for their fur and then thrown away. That's for the other non-domesticated animals such as pythons or foxes. That's why the fur trade was easier to dismantle. It's still around, but those animals are grown just for their fur and skin versus cows are for the meat and the skin can be sold to turn into leather. There is no way to raise a cow just for the skin and be profitable.

Agreed, I hope leather goes the way of the dodo!

Leather is not a byproduct of meat, it's an incredibly profitable coproduct. They subsidize each other. All unsustainable, sadly.
