Hopefully, at some point, this will help someone.
Leather tends to be listed in one of two ways - in ounces or more recently', in millimeters.
The basis of a leather's thickness/weight is: 1oz is equal to 1/64" is equal to 0.39mm. For each ounce, leather thickens by this basic amount ~ so a 9oz leather will be 9/64"/3.57mm.
Most veg-tan leather will be quoted as being between weights ~ i.e 8 to 10oz / 3.2 to 4mm*. This slight variation in the thickness of a piece of leather is entirely normal.
* It stays in line with the basic measure as listed above - but there will always be the need for rounding of numbers.
