    Be very careful who you buy leather from. Don't ask me how I know.
    :O :O :O !!!! I’m scared for my babies, tell me it isn’t so! How will one know?
    You can't (unless the seller says) but one good guess is that:

    1. If the case is lined with something else probably okie
    2. Pen case is made by fellow pen nerd.
    3. If the case is made by a company that sells pens that doesn't what a shit-ton of warranty claims also probably okie

    So Pilot cases, Franklin-Christoph cases, Visconti, MB, Omas, are probably all likely fine for example.

    I bought a bunch of sexy looking local made pen leather sleeves and they ate the living fuck out of my plating in a hurry.

    I have a Pilot Pensemble and Pilot Somes cases that are great. Some Franklin-Christoph cases that seem somewhat rough on the inside but so far seem to be fine and I am one billion percent sure they would not sell agressive plate eating leather.

    I have a ton of Levenger sleaves that are also very good and have done nothing but lovingly caress my pens for years.

    People who know shit about leather can chime in but I think it depends on how the leather is tanned.
