@gedankenstuecke Yeah. I've been warning the same leather belt for years and had a leather wallet that lasted for decades until I put it im the washer and got destroyed. That's why I'm wondering whether the long term effect of choosing a more durable (and repairable! You're right) item but potentially with a biggest initial cost for animal life balances out. Maybe quality is also an issue and I need to make sure that if I buy leather, it needs to be something really good.

@eliocamp yeah, at least to me that calculus seems to work out as least "resource intensive" (ofc, the question about the sourcing of the leather is more complicated than just that). But I also generally have a very modestly sized wardrobe that gets worn until things are beyond repair (and in some cases are far beyond that point 😅)
