      It would look like leather, except that cowhides are big enough to cut into reasonably large rectangular panels and human skins aren’t.

      (On a related note, one way you can tell a leather sofa is high-quality is by checking the back: if it’s made of several stitched-together strips, that’s good. If it’s one big piece, they cheaped out and used vinyl 'cause cows aren’t that big.)
