That whole interaction was hilarious. The moment he started sniffing you already had me in stitches, but when you invited him to lick you [the jacket], I was losing it. I wonder if he would have done so if he was more drunk haha.
I don't really get the disdain for leather goods. From what I've read, it is a co-product of the meat industry. Most of the leather used by big corporations are from the cows used for food/milk. So everyone is just losing out if they don't use those cow hide anyways.
