just read the word cropped and I thought that’s it.

Maybe second place is high-rise.

No l don’t get it. I spent years in the industry including dealing with Trade Descriptions Act. And by law it needs the correct fibres/materials on it. Which ‘Vegan leather’ doesn’t have. Is it made from leather? Or is it made from ‘vegan?’ What is it actually made from. As it doesn’t say it in that description.

"Gender free". Also seen on sewing patterns. Seems to be code for "a straight, boxy fit that we couldn't be arsed adding any shaping or darts to"

Faux

I find faux useful. As in faux leather or faux fur. I don’t want to buy animal skin and if they just used the name of the fabric to describe it, I wouldn’t be able to find what I’m looking for.
