What ever weight is needed to get you to your desired thickness. For example if you use 8oz then two 4oz pieces glued flesh to flesh will give you 8oz of smooth on both side leather. It could also be a 6oz + a 2oz or a 3oz + a 5oz etc etc.

I use non-chrome pigskin for holster lining.  Avoid any chrome tanned leather.

It depends on the effect that's desired. For slick, use leather with the grain out. For soft, use suede side out. I often line with pig suede or other veg tan.

 

If the gun is not stored in the holster you could use chrome tan but it's generally discouraged for long-term contact with the metal.

Would veg tan in 3/4 be about right for a fold over western holster in 8/9 veg tan?

I think so. It'll make a nice sturdy holster
