What are the most eco-animal friendly leather like materials?

Real natural leather. It is much more eco-friendly to grow a cow and process leather than make synthetic leather look-a-like materials. When you use a cow for leather you end up with lots of meat you can eat and when you make synthetic fabric you end up with petroleum waste. Also, cows take a few years to grow up and petoleum renews nowhere near as fast. Lastly, natural leather looks best and lasts longer than sythetics.

E Leather is an environmentally friendly leather that is blended with other materials and re-woven to create a fabric that mimics the look and feel of 100% leather but weighs less and reduces cutting wastage to around 5% compared to 18-40% for natural leather.

Is there leather in an organ?

Yes, a pipe organ contains a lot of leather, typically deerskin, sheepskin, and cowhide. Pneumatic actions have either a small, circular leather pouch or a tiny leather-covered bellows for every pipe in the instrument, which can amount to thousands in a large organ. These allow air pressure to open and close the valve underneath each pipe.

Joints in the wooden wind chests are gasketed with leather strips.

Wooden pipes that have movable stoppers use leather as packing so that the stopper is airtight.

Reservoirs and bellows are jointed or hinged with strips of leather.

As you can see, leather is an indispensible component of pipe organs. Other materials, such as rubber or synthetic fabrics, have been tried, but they do not work as well nor last as long as leather.

Is bonded leather durable and will it last?

I found a an article on bonded leather in a emag called Furniture Today but nothing that answers this question specifically.

Bonded leather is an economical material but does not stand up to flexing therefore it is a poor substitute and would not make it durable at all for furniture. It can be used for tabletops or picture frames where flexing is not an issue.

I started looking around after I visited Rooms To Go and the sales rep failed to highlight that this is not genuine leather. I found out by accident on their website which simply states it is Bonded Leather (up to us to educate ourselves I guess). The sales guy had explained to us that it is leather spliced and supported on the underside and even tried to sell us leather protection. This is W.R.O.N.G. it tells me that the retailer is not being truthful by not disclosing the facts about the product.

The product is barely over 2 years old going by the article in Furniture today and there is little evidence of it being tested for durability. So if you're buying this product you are field testing it for the stores I guess!

Why leather kind of fetish?

There's not really a "why" answer to this. (And what would you do if you knew "why"?) Somehow, the brain associates some random thing with sex, and once that association's been made, well ... there it is. There's nothing inherently wrong with a leather fetish, unless it interferes with your daily life, or you can't have sex without it. If that's the case, you might consider speaking with a therapist.

The underlying cause for fetishes may be the same mechanism that causes courtship rituals. The mechanism enables people to become sexually aroused under circumstances where ordinary stimuli don't work. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of impregnation.

Interestingly, there is now a fetish for vinyl -- clearly a material that doesn't have a long history in human experience.
