The veganism choice was only tangentially related to animal rights; it was mostly a health thing and a grossout factor that were at play in these decisions. And the fact that it isn't necessary to eat animal products, more efficient, better for the environment, etc. It's an easy choice to make in the time in which I live and the location in which I live. I have a lot of alternatives easily available.
Besides, pretty much all my leather stuff is used and most of it is older or almost as old as I am anyway. I'm not creating a lot of new demand.
I had a couple of pairs of pleather pants in the past (they had a cool design), but they were sweaty and uncomfortable and not very durable. The real thing is much better.
