I have hard time seeing clothing with a bigger environmental than leather.
Of course, but there are more options than leather, like bamboo, linen, and lyocell.
But one could also use linen, hemp, ramie/urtica/nettle. However, they are more complicated to process and as the results are textiles, they are not windproof or water repellent.
Organic and recycled cotton is a lot better, and hemp and linen are also pretty good. And if you're worried about hazardous pesticides the majority is used while growing feed for animals.
Cotton is often grown with large amounts of pesticides and uses enourmous amounts of fibers.
