Leather Guides: Expert Advice on Choosing and Caring for Leather

Good leather lasts a lifetime, but only if you choose the right piece and look after it. Our Leather Guides share practical, no-nonsense advice to help you buy with confidence and get years of use from your gear.

Shooters and hunters will find guides to gun slips, rifle cases and cartridge bags, covering how to measure your gun for the right fit, how leather compares with canvas and Cordura, and what to look for in quality stitching and hardware. Craftspeople can compare work aprons for woodworking, blacksmithing, butchery, welding and bartending, and there are guides to golf bags, duffle and travel bags, leather fashion, and how to clean and condition leather so it stays supple.
