Hi,

Looking at Wiki page for Morocco Leather. As a 3rd generation leather merchant, with 50+ personal years in the industry, this entire section is appropriate for the 1800's, but is far from today's definition.

Morocco leather, in today's world only means an embossed leather with a heavy grain. This is far askew from the Wiki article.

As time has passed, leather definitions have been bastardized. Here is a definition from the 1970's, source US Dept of Agriculture, Foreign Agricultural Service, "Dictionary of Terms Used in the Hides, Skins and Leather Trade"

"Morocco": Vegetable tanned goatskin leather with characteristic grain pattern developed naturally or by hand boarding or graining only. The commonest or most characteristic grain is hard grain. By long usage, especially in the fancy goods trade, denotes goatskin of any vegetable tannage that has been hand boarded in the wet condition, but in the strict sense, it should be limited to goatskin tanned exclusively with sumac. Leather made from vegetable tanned goatskin with a grain resembling that of genuine Morocco: hand boarding, for example by embossing should be termed "Morocco grained goat" or "assisted Morocco"Steven Siegel (talk) 00:24, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
