I've noticed this isn't the most vegan friendly place in the world, however, I am interested in any inventive ways people might have found to make vegan gear. I'm not out to convert anyone, your life is your life. I don't use wool because in some places the skin around the sheep's rear is cut off to prevent infection from flies, but often results in infection (from flies, doh!) and death of the sheep. I also don't use silk because the caterpillars have to be boiled alive in their cocoons in order for the silk to be usable. I don't care if Indiana Jones kills people OR animals because HE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. Other than that I won't be saying anything else about it unless directly asked.
I'm particularly looking for something to make the jacket from. The amount of available materials is increasing, but it's still hard to find something that wares and wears like leather. Total bummer on my part.
The fedora wouldn't be impossible to make from some cloth, even the cotton felt you can buy for kids costumes and stuff, if you starch it enough?
I'm not worried about shoes or belts - you can get those at the Wally World. The pants and shirt are easy enough to duplicate in cotton.
Vegan whips are available at vegan "toy" shops.
Although I've only found cat-o-nine-tails and a flogger-of-17. I also hear you can make them from tire tread and tubing. . .
