Why Isn't Everything Made of... Kangaroo Leather

Now before discussing Kangaroo leather, let us establish something; Kangaroos are not very nice. In fact, they are quite mean. They punch people and cause car accidents. Observe:




















Now then. Kangaroo leather is so dank because of its strength. It is much more resistant to tearing and abrasion than calf. It is also much more supple and comfortable because it breaks in faster than calf. These properties have led it to be used in sports applications, such as motorcycle suits.
















The thinness and abrasion resistance makes it suitable for protecting riders as they fall at speeds they shouldn't be going at anyways. Everything should be so safe as kangaroo leather. Roo leather is also used to make the most iconic football boot of all time, the Adidas Copa Mundial.





















I can't really explain why football boots need to be made of Kangaroo leather, but people can't really explain why these boots are the best ever, either. So, I have no choice, but to assume the Kangaroo leather has something to do with it. People comment on the Copa Mundial's comfort and suppleness as parts of its greatness. These attributes are definitely due to the use of Kangaroo leather.

Kangaroo is also starting to be used to non-sporting applications. RM Williams makes some of the world's best Chelsea boots. They make them in Kangaroo leather, too. Many reviews note the comfort, toughness, and beauty of the Kangaroo model.




















Well now, can you say Kangaroo leather is not dank? I thought not. I'll bet for at least 3 minutes you'll be thinking, "Why isn't everything made of Kangaroo leather?".
