I've Never Made A Purse

I was looking at the saddlebag style purse Bob Klenda had in the May/June edition of the Leathercrafters Journal. I've never made a purse before, but am going to give this one a shot. I've never worked with anything other than veg tanned natural strap leather, making holsters and belts. Bob talks about using "chap leather" for the lining and gusset. I order my leather from SLC and I think "chap leather" is a pretty generic term. Which of the leathers SLC carries should I order for the lining and gusset? I'm going to follow the directions Bob gave in the article, but any other advice would be appreciated.
