Is anyone using the thin "Chrome Pneumatic-CPL" hairsheep leather as sold by
the Leather Supply House for pouches?  What is the difference to be expected
by using this leather?  For thirty years, I have always used the thin German
Tan leathers. I know that the CPL will end up thicker than the German, but in
the past have had to use German Tan which was thicker than I desired, and
usually in foot pumpers. The CPL does cost less than the German Tan, but in
the end, does it really, considering the time that it takes to do a set of
pouches. The cost of the leather is not a substantial item. The performance
and lasting qualities are what counts.¶
Gee, maybe I have already answered my own question.
