No.

Armor must be constructed from period materials, i.e. materials available prior to the gunpowder era. Suffice to say, fake leather is not period.

EDIT: elaboration on why not.

The acceptable armor materials are clearly listed in the BoW. READ THE RULES AGAIN.

Can't use it for armor, and you really shouldn't- all the faux leather I've encountered breaks apart under the heavy wear belegrim dish out.

If your friend has a bunch of the stuff lying about, then there's other non-armor related things that he can still use it for- Using it for the trim of a banner is a nice way to make use of it, for instance-

Make Scabbards, quivers, gaters, etc out of the fake leather if you have a bunch. They come in very useful and get expensive with the real leather, unless you have tons of real leather laying around.
