Leather thickness is usually measured in ounces.
Leather comes from an animal. Like all living creatures, there will always be some variations between the animals. This will explain why most leather is sold with a range of thicknesses. As mentioned above, a typical range will be 4-5 oz, 6-7 oz, 8-9 oz, and so on.
This handy little chart should provide some assistance for when you are after a specific leather thickness for your leathercraft projects.
