This guide looks pretty good.
Personally I look out for top grain or full grain. There should be a distinct leather smell, different from how a cheap leather wallet smells.
If it’s a local leather shop, I’d ask someone who works there what grade of leather they use and how it’s treated; quality craftsmen like showing off.
