Natural cowhide markings vary from one product to another. The exact arrangement of white and black areas may differ from the photographs.

The exterior features genuine hair-on cowhide, giving the slip a distinctive natural texture and appearance.

Unlike printed or synthetic cowhide-effect materials, genuine hair-on hide retains the natural hair and markings of the leather.

Every piece has its own individual pattern, with variations in the distribution of white and black markings.

These differences are a natural characteristic of the material and make each gun slip unique.

Hair-on cowhide should be handled and maintained carefully to help preserve the natural finish.

Premium leather trim complements the hair-on cowhide exterior, providing a traditional finish associated with quality country shooting accessories.

The leather detailing adds structure and contrast to the distinctive natural hide.

With regular use, the leather may develop subtle changes in tone and surface character.

Appropriate leather care will help maintain its appearance and condition over time.

The full-length zip allows the gun slip to open along its length, providing convenient access when placing a shotgun inside or removing it.

This design is particularly useful for reducing the need to slide the firearm through a narrow opening.

Ensure the shotgun is positioned correctly within the slip before closing the zip.

Check that the zip is fully secured before lifting or carrying the slip.

Keep the zip clean and free from dirt or debris to maintain smooth operation.

The interior features a soft fleece lining designed to cushion the shotgun during normal handling and transport.

The lining helps reduce direct contact between the firearm and the exterior materials, providing additional protection for the stock and barrel.

Always ensure the shotgun is clean and dry before placing it inside the slip.

A fleece-lined gun slip is intended for carrying and temporary protection rather than replacing secure long-term firearm storage.

The Chatham Cowhide & Leather Full Zip Gun Slip features an adjustable shoulder strap and a short carry handle.

The shoulder strap allows the slip to be carried comfortably while walking around the shooting ground or travelling through the field.

The carry handle provides an alternative for lifting and carrying the slip over shorter distances.

Traditional hardware complements the leather construction and classic appearance.

Check the condition of the strap, handle and attachment points periodically.

The gun slip features a blocked end designed to provide additional protection around the end of the firearm.

This helps reinforce an area that may experience contact during normal carrying and handling.

The blocked end works alongside the fleece lining and durable exterior to help protect the shotgun.

The slip should still be handled carefully and must not be relied upon to protect against heavy impacts or drops.

When choosing a gun slip, it is important to consider the shotgun's overall length rather than barrel length alone.

Measure the firearm from the end of the stock to the muzzle, including any permanently fitted accessories or extended chokes.

Allow sufficient clearance for the shotgun to fit comfortably without placing unnecessary pressure on the zip or the ends of the slip.

Check the size shown in the product options before ordering.

If you are unsure which size is suitable, contact Bamfords Online with your shotgun model and overall length.

Genuine hair-on cowhide requires slightly different care from conventional smooth leather. Gentle cleaning and careful storage will help preserve its natural appearance.

• Remove loose dust and dirt with a soft brush, following the natural direction of the hair.
• Avoid brushing against the hair growth, which may cause unnecessary wear.
• For minor marks, use a lightly dampened cloth without soaking the hide.
• Do not scrub or use abrasive cleaning materials.
• Avoid applying conventional leather creams, oils or waxes directly to the hair-on cowhide.
• Clean the smooth leather trim separately using an appropriate leather care product.
• Test any leather treatment on a small, inconspicuous area first.
• Keep the slip away from prolonged moisture and excessive humidity.
• Allow the slip to dry naturally if it becomes damp.
• Do not place against radiators or other direct heat sources.
• Keep the zip and metal fittings clean and dry.
• Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment.

As genuine cowhide is a natural material, variations in hair direction, texture and markings are to be expected.

Avoid storing a damp shotgun inside the slip, as trapped moisture can contribute to corrosion.
