Real leather cases?

I once bought a really cool leather jacket in Florence. I was scared it was fake leather. We then went to the orphanage/leather school (Scuola del Cuoio) and we were given a demonstration by a leather smith. I asked him if my jacket was real, he said "This is lamb skin, we eat this meat. It would cost more to make fake leather." I loved that jacket, it was very soft and always stayed in great condition.
Side story: A lot of the US sends their animal hides to Italy to be tanned according to the guy on the tour.

(They did not have a cue case.....)
