Size Guide & Fit
The Chatham Premium Antique Oiled Leather Gun Slip is available in two size options:
- 30" – intended for shotguns with a 30-inch barrel configuration.
- 32" – intended for shotguns with a 32-inch barrel configuration.
These are the manufacturer's designated gun slip sizes rather than confirmed overall internal measurements. The correct fit will depend on your shotgun's complete dimensions, including its stock, action, barrel length and any extended choke tubes.
Both side-by-side and over-and-under shotguns may be suitable, provided their overall dimensions are compatible with the selected slip.
If you are unsure which size to choose, please contact Bamfords Online for assistance before ordering.
Premium Antique Oiled Leather
The gun slip is crafted from premium antique oiled leather, selected for its robust construction, supple character and traditional appearance. Unlike synthetic alternatives, genuine leather offers natural variations in grain and colour, making each gun slip slightly individual.
The antique oiled finish gives the leather a rich, rustic appearance that is particularly well suited to traditional country shooting accessories. With regular use, the leather gradually develops a distinctive patina, enhancing its character and vintage appeal.
Natural marks, creases and subtle colour variations are characteristic of this type of leather and contribute to its traditional appearance.
Interior Protection & Construction
The soft fleece-lined interior provides a cushioned surface to help protect your shotgun's woodwork and metal finish from scratches during normal transportation.
A reinforced blocked end provides additional structure and protection around the muzzle area, while the leather outer construction helps shield the firearm from everyday contact and minor knocks.
The traditional tapered profile accommodates the shape of a shotgun, combining practical protection with an elegant appearance.
Although designed for transportation, a gun slip should not be used as a substitute for an approved secure firearm storage arrangement.
Carrying & Fastenings
The gun slip features a practical zip closure, allowing convenient access when placing your shotgun inside or removing it. Traditional leather flap and brass buckle detailing complement the design and provide a classic country finish.
A short leather carrying handle offers a convenient option for lifting and transporting the slip over shorter distances.
The adjustable shoulder strap allows the carrying length to be tailored for comfort when walking between drives or travelling around a shooting ground. The strap can also be detached when not required.
Brass hardware provides a traditional finishing touch that pairs naturally with the rich brown leather exterior.
Leather Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help preserve the appearance and condition of your Chatham leather gun slip for years to come.
- Remove surface dirt using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Allow the leather to dry naturally if exposed to moisture.
- Avoid placing the gun slip near radiators, fires or other direct heat sources.
- Condition periodically using a suitable natural beeswax leather cream or polish, following the product instructions.
- Test any leather care treatment on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, solvents and machine washing.
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment.
As the leather ages, natural creases and variations in colour may develop. These are normal characteristics of antique oiled leather and form part of its traditional appearance.
Always ensure your shotgun is dry before placing it inside the slip. Remove the firearm after transportation and follow appropriate secure storage procedures.
