Members TheShiek2008 Posted January 7, 2016 Members Report Posted January 7, 2016 What weight of leather should I order? I need it to be 1/8 inch thick. Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted January 7, 2016 Members Report Posted January 7, 2016 8oz is 1/8 inch. Look up leather thickness chart, there are several options that give measurement conversions on the web. Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."

Chief31794 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 1 oz is approximately 1/64th inch which make 8 oz 1/8" thick as Tinker said. Simple conversion or you could buy a thickness guage. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Matt T Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 There are several conversion charts on the web. Here's mine: http://lekoza.com/index.php?route=stories/show&story_id=4 And yes, you are looking for 8oz. Quote Leathercraft supplies
Members TheShiek2008 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2016 Excellent. Thank you. I will keep the conversion chart close by. Quote

It seems to be the only one with fractional/decimal and irons. Nice work. Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."
