LEATHER THICKNESS

This is a leather thickness conversion chart laid out in Ounces (OZ), Millimeters, Fractional Inches, and Decimal Inches. This will help you determine which leather to buy, depending on what you are working on. For instance, if you were making wallets the best leather thickness would be 2oz-3.5oz for the pockets, and 3.5oz-5oz for the outer shell. If you’re looking to make larger bags or totes, the best leather thickness would be around 5oz-6oz to make sure the bag has enough body to keep its shape. Lastly, the ideal thickness for belts and straps is in the range of 8oz-14oz. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or want to see other leather conversion charts!
