Jon Bon Jovi has agreed to remove a leather patch from jeans in his clothing line Hart N Dagger.

PETA announced Tuesday it convinced the rock star to replace the patch on the waistband of the jeans with a faux-leather patch.

The animal rights group complained to Bon Jovi about the jeans back in February. It has voiced similar objections to Levi’s, True Religion and Lucky Brand.

The singer’s cousin Joseph Bongiovi, who runs Hart N Dagger, confirmed the switch “in support of PETA and the ethical treatment of animals.”

The jeans sell for a whopping $275 (all prices in U.S. dollars). Other items in the collection include $165 T-shirts and $280 sweaters.
