Decent quality belt ( for trousers )

All nylon is organic, being oil based, what's your point?

Billions of plankton died millions of years ago to make that oil.

Pictures of bikinis came up and I forgot what I was looking for

Certainly did and I would have no problem with using leather from animals that had died naturally, that is just recycling. What I have a problem with, is the unnecessary and deliberate deaths of so many animals to provide materials and foods that have perfectly good or better alternatives.

Conversely though, when those animals are already being used for meat, it's wasteful to not use their hides too.

I was trying to avoid it but you said it.

In my view they should not be deliberately killed for either because it just perpetuates the market for the killing to continue, just like people who buy stolen goods create a market for thieves.

We"re omnivores. We're not designed to each just one or the other.

End of the day, it's a personal choice. Everyone should have the grace to respect whether people stick with their natural inclination or not.

I have no problem with vegetarians or vegans. It's their choice. (Doesn't mean I won't take the p*ss out of them, mind. ) Leave me to mine, is all I ask.

The last leather belts I got were from Primark, lasting me well.

They aren’t all ass holes either

C"mon. Lets not be too accommodating.

Likkewise, but all I ask is that people start to consider what alternatives there might be to whatever they are consuming, that could reduce the tragedy of so many lost lives. Since I have found out what really does go on in animal farming, I have found so many food products that I wouldn't have considered even trying before, which was my loss.

I have no closed mind. In general, I mostly eat chocolate, occasionally bread & ..., nope that's about it. I am not a man with a varied diet or partial to food experimentation. I can smell & locate a bacon fry up from a 1000 yards away though.

Often an indication of wealth! When I worked in photographic retail, we had a millionaire who used to frequent the store. That is how he presented himself every time.

No they are not cheap, but custom made and should last a life time, Winchboy has belt and wallet made by this guy in Liverpool, still excellent after many years of daily use.
