That's actually what I was hoping. Bet the bloody things still tell you at every opportunity that they're a vegan though.

Just a faux leather I think, polyurethane maybe.

SAP gloves with metal shot inside them for "self defence"?

Yeah , this is the type of Glove i'm referring too that i keep seeing adverts , i'm guessing they have to be careful with their wording to use the term Knuckle Protection?

All Tesla's now have vegan leather, doesn't feel cheap and nasty in those.

I have always preferred alternatives to animal leather, I tend to find that leather requires a lot of upkeep to maintain otherwise it falls to bits, it's not well suited for use in harsh conditions.

Yeah, had a look in to it. Looks like it can be very high quality. It's on my list of things I approve of now! Although don't think it should be called leather.
