About

Leather Weight Notes puts the basics of Leather thickness and weight: what ounces and irons mean, how to convert to millimetres, how to measure a piece, and which thickness suits which kind of project into plain words.

The pages draw on published material such as manufacturers' manuals and specifications, government and university pages, and encyclopedias. Each page lists the sources behind it at the bottom, along with the date it was last checked.

There are no ads here, and nothing is for sale.

What you read here is general information. The maker's own manual or documentation comes first, and where safety or the law calls for a qualified tradesperson, use one.
