Size Guide & Fit
The Chatham Premium Antique Oiled Leather Gun Slip in Tan is available in two sizes:
- 30" – intended for shotguns with a 30-inch barrel configuration.
- 32" – intended for shotguns with a 32-inch barrel configuration.
These sizes represent the manufacturer's designated gun slip options 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.

Premium Antique Oiled Leather
This Chatham gun slip is crafted from premium antique oiled leather, selected for its traditional appearance, durability and natural character. The distinctive tan finish showcases the leather's natural grain and creates a classic country look that pairs beautifully with traditional shooting clothing and accessories.
Unlike synthetic materials, genuine leather gradually changes in appearance with regular use. The oiled finish allows the leather to develop a unique patina, with subtle variations in tone, creasing and texture adding to its character over time.
The warm tan colour offers a particularly attractive alternative to traditional dark brown gun slips, while retaining the premium craftsmanship and practical qualities associated with Chatham leather shooting accessories.
Interior Protection & Construction
The gun slip features a soft fleece-lined interior, helping to cushion your shotgun and protect its woodwork and metal surfaces from scratches during normal transportation.
A reinforced blocked end provides additional structure and protection around the muzzle area, while the substantial leather exterior helps shield the firearm from everyday contact and minor knocks.
The traditional tapered shape follows the general profile of a shotgun, providing a practical and elegant carrying solution for game shooting and clay shooting.
Although designed to protect a firearm during transportation, a gun slip should not be used as a substitute for secure firearm storage.
Carrying & Fastenings
A practical zip fastening provides convenient access to the interior, allowing the shotgun to be placed into or removed from the slip with ease.
Traditional leather flap and brass buckle detailing complement the tan leather exterior, maintaining the classic appearance associated with premium country shooting equipment.
The short leather carrying handle offers a convenient option for lifting and carrying the slip, while the adjustable shoulder strap allows the carrying length to be tailored to the user.
The shoulder strap can also be detached when not required, providing additional flexibility when travelling to a shoot or moving between stands.
Leather Care & Maintenance
Regular care will help preserve the appearance and condition of your Chatham antique oiled leather gun slip.
- Remove surface dirt using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Allow the leather to dry naturally if exposed to rain or moisture.
- Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, fires or heaters.
- Condition periodically using a suitable natural beeswax leather cream or polish, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Test any leather treatment on an inconspicuous area before applying it more widely, as some products may darken the tan finish.
- Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, solvents and machine washing.
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment.
The tan leather may gradually develop darker areas, natural creases and subtle variations in colour through regular use. These characteristics are normal for antique oiled leather and contribute to its distinctive appearance.
Always ensure your shotgun is dry before placing it inside the slip. For long-term storage, remove the firearm and follow appropriate secure storage procedures.
