Hey guys, observation/question here. Jensen Huang the Nvidia CEO is often seen in his $9000.00 lizard-embossed Tom Ford jacket in calf skin. Couldn't he easily have a custom-made real lizard skin jacket made by the likes of Johnson's for far less? How exceedingly expensive is Lizard versus the fashion hype of a Tom Ford piece?

I never see lizard-based leather in FL, maybe because it's illegal in certain parts.

The article said his wife and daughter are responsible for his current style and I would not be surprised if they bought his clothes.
Johnson Leathers could be more proactive in approaching celebrity clients. Lebron wore special one off natural Vanson jacket, I am guessing his team had a lot to do with that than himself.
Exotic skins can get quite pricey though, like 3 to 5 times the normal cowhide/horsehide we wear around here. Very rockstar.

Lizard is commonly used in cowboy boots:

Finding pieces large enough for a jacket would be the issue. Lots of unsightly seams.
