Persian morocco
Reputedly, a vegetable-tanned leather produced
originally from goat skin and subsequently from
the skins of various hair sheep. It is said to be
tough and strong but lacking in permanence,
supposedly because it is tanned from the condensed
class of tannins. The leather is finished with a
smooth grain surface in imitation of calfskin,
which makes the expression "morocco" misleading.
