for wallets I use 4-6 oz leather for the outside and 2-3 oz for the interior for knife sheaths I almost always use 6-7 oz but will sometimes use 4-6 and holsters and belts 9-10 oz.  I order from tandy and springfield.  I don't make purses (which really makes my wife unhappy) but if I did the thickness of the leather  would depend on how stiff or floppy the customer wanted it to be.  you will learn all this with time and asking questions here,  there is a wealth of knowledge that is for sure.

Thank you for the info. I have some Hermann Oak 4/5 oz I may make a wallet out of tomorrow but honestly it's a lot thicker than 2/3 I also have on hand (one is veg tan the other is London tan in English bridle). Too bad they do not match up. 

Thanks everyone for the input! I am reading and learning.

 

I used up some the last of some cheap 5/6oz and 8-9oz scrap I had on hand to finish putting this together.
