Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 15, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted January 15, 2015 Look for something called "Chap Leather". It's available in various weights, so measure the thickness of what you're repairing and convert to 64ths of an inch......i.e. 4/64ths=2/32=1/16th" = 4oz. That correlates to the leather thickness you need for the repair. Quote
