The fake leather thing is real. It’s why you can reuse a leather jacket after a motorcycle crash, but not a textile one. Leather also slides better, and sliding gently to a stop after a motorcycle crash can really save you.
Oh, another thing: welding. I don’t think I’ve seen a synthetic material that works as well at protecting you from the combination of heat, slag, and abrasive materials as leather does.

Sliding is def. better than rolling!
