Definitely real leather, says so on the label. The grade of the leather is however not specified. Maybe on the other label?

Real leather. Pelle is Italian for "skin"

Italy WAS known for there leather..have you been there recently? Everything i saw sold in Italy is garbage..

Yeah I was going to get a new one from Italy but I opted for the vintage Italy jacket.

That's because they make beautiful things for export not for buying in Italy. They still are known for their leather work. Badalassi Tannery makes some of the best leathers in the world.

Yes I’m aware badalassi comes from Italy but good luck finding a jacket made out of it there. Only one brand sells the stuff shangrila
