They’re frightened to death to make a jacket out of bacon and pork rinds.

Hopefully this peculiar new Swedish jacket is bullet and machete and bomb proof. Do Swedish people can survive the imported - Islamics’ attacks on them.

I’m sure the Muslim hordes in their midst are worried about the environment.

If you have cellulose, you can make Rayon, which we have been able to do since the 1890’s. This is is simply gas-light era chemistry

It’s a nice looking jacket; but I like wool, cotton, linen, silk....

Tierra claim their new jacket is the first in the world comprised entirely of 100 percent plant-based materials...


What about Cotten?

It will probably attract rodents.

Maybe Gaga will be wearing this Meat Dress today during Super Bowl Halftime. It would serve them right for booking her.
Never realized she had matching boots too. Yuck!

People starving....and they make clothes. As stupid as using corn for gasoline.

Most likely. Alot of wiring insulation in newer vehicles is made with vegetable byproducts. It’s like a salad bar for rodents.

Good point. And for the love of Pete, don’t ever get one for your sister.

They’re probably referring to mass-produced cold-weather outerwear, which usually does have synthetic components now.

I have a Caterpillar jacket that’s entirely synthetic; the warmest parka-type thing I’ve ever owned.

Yep. That’s exactly why I figured they’ll go after these jackets as well...

Those almost look like my snowboots that I bought from LL Bean.

What about Cotten?

Henry Ford took a stab at soy-plant and hemp fibers for clothing. Got sidelined by cheap oil-based fabrics that wore better, before he could fix the shortcomings.
