Oh God, the door is bended and some sun is entering!I thought bulgarians,rumanians or algerians/marroquians or south americans, they are assaulting a lot in my country, 75% of the prisoners are from there ( no racist, is the true).I woke up, pressed the alarm,called the police, opened the windows and went to the upper terrace, a marroquian I saw!!!I my area which is wealthy, lots of 911, jags ( like mine) etc are parked that people is always around.My family doesn´t want to sleep here any more. I have no fear on letting him some lead jarabe but not my family to see me in prison.Here the laws are so lefty that if you beat,kill,reduce etc the thief you pay with thousands of euros or prison. This is not the states. The land of freedom. I live in the land of thieves aproved by the government.Thanks

Do you mean 'Morocco leather', traditionally the finest bookbinding leather:

goat skin which has been 'boarded' which gives it a fine texture like craquelure.
(Modern versions are likely to be embossed and might as well be lamb.)
Quote:
Boarded leather:-

A raised grain leather produced by folding the skin in half, grain to grain, and firmly drawing a cork or rubber-faced board across the fold and forming a series of creases across the skin. If the skin is boarded in the transverse direction a series of small squares are produced. Box calf Morocco and coach hide are examples of boarded leather. It can be done by hand or machine, and helps to soften the leather.

Thank you for the response...I thought the reference may have been to Morocco leather which I am familiar with from having my old books rebound (see example below of nice chocolate Moroccan binding) so it may have been a misspelling on the part of the briefcase description.
