A team of scientists will 'combine creative innovation, genomic engineering and advanced tissue engineering to start producing sustainable luxury materials from prehistoric species'.
It builds on previous research which involved extracting a fragment of collagen from a T.Rex fossil, found in 1988 in Montana.
It was one of the most complete specimens at the time of its discovery, and even contained preserved blood proteins.
Now, experts will use this fragment to artificially recreate what a full-length T.Rex collagen sequence would have looked like.
Once they have made sure it looks genetically similar to that of the T.Rex ancestors, they will incorporate it into their own lab-grown leather cells and 'grow' it.
This will produce a dense network of collagen – similar to the middle layer of skin – which will then become the T.Rex leather.
The collaboration is between The Organoid Company, Lab-Grown Leather Ltd and creative agency VML, and the leather will be developed at a lab in Newcastle.
Thomas Mitchell, CEO of The Organoid Company, said: 'This project is a remarkable example of how we can harness cutting-edge genome and protein engineering to create entirely new materials.

T Rex jacket would be cool
I know how this ends, I saw the movies
Television man is crazy
Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh, man, I need TV when I got T-Rex
I got your body right now on my mind
But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex
Mmm
To the sound of old T-Rex
Oh, and Who’s Next?
I’m a dude now!
My 3 year old grandson would LOVE that. He loves anything T-Rex.
The movies never end.
-- paraphrasing Dr. Ian Malcolm

This won’t work. T. rex hide was soft and delicate. He has a bad reputation, but he was really just a big ol’ softy. Those arms were made for hugging, not mugging.
Bang a Gong!
Depends....Made In America?? Yes....China..SU

Has PETA weighed in on this yet?
