Made from TOP GRADE leather--Huh??

Just saw this ad on ebay for an Everlast Speedbag.

ITALY Everlast Leather Speed Bag Durable Shaped Top Grade Leather

But then read the fine print.

What's a top grade "synthetic" leather??

Striking and eye-catching Italian National Flag design

That's just Everlast speak. Gyro-balanced means that the bag was made by someone without a hangover. We've all seen their unbalanced bags, you now know how those were made. I want a bag with the Chinese national flag design, with a sticker that says "You are now paying what you used to pay for these things when they were made by union workers in the USA back in the 1980s. Suckers."

Here's the link to the Top Grade synthetic if anyone wants a laugh.

not leather

I questioned the seller and he said he took the info from the Everlast site but I could not find it. I was going to purchase it until I read synthetic leather. Seller said it feels like leather. No thanks.
