Great idea, I support this
I'm interested in this 
Plus, plastic-free clothing is way more sustainable. Nearly nobody has access to the sort of equipment required to manufacture that sort of thing (plastic clothing).
I think learning how to make one's own clothing is important.
I wish I knew how to make shoes in a sustainable way, that didn't depend on animal skins. If anyone knows about any DIY vegan shoe instructions, please reply with links.
So you can purchase 'mushroom leather' prior to them injecting plastic in it for moccasins, but I actually have no clue how good the material is for that use case in its raw state. Most companies laminate it with plastic to give it better durability, but you'd have to inquire about the raw materials to see if they do this prior to you receiving the sheet.

Here's an example of one you can preorder. Hemp canvas can also be used for shoes, and so can natural rubber (its not made out of plastic, in fact a lot of no plastic options are now using natural rubber)
