"Leather prepared with Sumach (extract from a tannin-rich plant grown in Hungary) Goat, a thinner hide. This became Morocco leather, which took rich dyes well and was quicker to produce. It was used for coach linings and chair covers. An inferior type, made from split sheepskin - skiver - was used for book covers, hat linings, and pocket books."
