Why should vegan clothing mimic non-vegan clothing? You can get materials a lot better looking than fake leather that will serve the same purposes (and probably serve them better), and once you stop to think "well, why should a vegan foul-weather boot look like a leather boot? Why not create something entirely different with waxed cotton, or jointed wood or metal soles, or something else that makes the most of materials we are willing to use?" the whole world opens up.

We should start a company to design "attractive" vegan clothing. Maybe we could get some hollywood types to model to get us going. Vegan doesn't have to be frumpy. That said, a lot of vegans do like to look frumpy - it's that earth mother thing. But for the vegan lawyers, what else you going to wear to court? BRC and NFH's hot vegan clothing store. We could call it Hot Topics - or has that been done? I have a friend who, while in search of golf clothing for a company tournament, lamented that golf clothing for women (even for men) is hideous. Even the most expensive stuff is not very flattering. We're going to design attractive golf clothing for women. Or maybe I'm just trying to appeal to the wrong people - vegans and golfers - maybe they want to look dowdy.
