@dancehallhiips @universalhub probably the Hempest on newbury st?

@dancehallhiips @universalhub Try http://t.co/TOubW1RH79 in Cambridge. Also, most stores will carry synthetic belts at lower price points.

@dancehallhiips @universalhub There's a place on Mass Ave close to Porter Sq. Mainly sell shoes but may sell belts. Can't remember the name.

Sudo Shoes is the place in Porter Square. They do sell good quality vegan "leather" belts. I wear mine almost every day and have for quite a few years and it's still in excellent shape.

"Synthetic" isn't really vegan since petrol is really old decomposed animals.

So's dirt. What IS your point?

If you're not interested in offering a helpful response, maybe you could just...you know...not post?

Sarcasm. I think the original question looking for a vegan belt may be sarcasm too, but who knows.
Btw, does anyone know where I can find vegan t.p. for my bunghole?

To be vegan a product needs to be plant based. NOT synthetic. That's the point!

Just means that it didn't exploit animals, at least according to my vegan friends and relatives.

The "rules" for clothing (depending on who you ask, of course) are a bit different than the preferred eating patterns. Most vegans will wear nylon and other synthetics. Some include upcycled synthetics, like recycled billboard and decal pieces or tire tubes, for accessories.

Vegan bag

Just by chance I bought what I thought was a leather bag at Marshalls yesterday and only when I got home did I see it had a "vegan" label, but no specifics on the actual materials. I assume the metal buckle and studs are real metal- is metal considered vegan?

absolutely not.

To be vegan, a product needs to not be made of anything derived from animals.

...petroleum derivatives like polyester, nylon, etc etc are not vegan. They are derived from a mix of dead plants and animals, large a small that died millions of years ago. So those vegan belts... they may not exist.

They weren't exploited

The creatures that died for our oil weren't farmed or penned for it - and most of them were plants anyway.

Because "pleather" sounds

Because "pleather" sounds cheap and doesn't carry the smugness of "vegan."

Huh?

I'm not a vegan, but the ethic, as I understand it, is to avoid doing things that result in animal cruelty or exploitation. That may not be something that matters to you, but surely you can see how clothing choice could be the result of one's ethics (for example, buying fair trade). It's really not that bizarre a concept to act according to one's ethics.

The people that rush to call

The people that rush to call vegans smug tend to be more obnoxious than the very people they're seeking to denigrate. It's a common trope.

Really?

Where have you been hiding? I'm far from vegan, but I do notice if something like a pair of shoes that I'm looking at is marked as vegan.

Leather. Where does leather come from?

Probably one made out of

Probably one made out of cotton or another plant fiber. Haven't you ever seen a belt like that?

I call it a F_____ing "Belt" not a "locally sourced gender neutral vegan pantaloon suspension device."

what about others calling it something else is so threatening to you? I don't need to know the answer to that, but you may want to ask yourself

They carry belts from Alchemy Goods, which upcycles bike tubes into belts, bags, wallets, etc. I have a business card wallet from them that I like.
