Croots Byland Leather Double Shotgun Slip Zip/Flap

Croots Byland Leather Double Gun Slip with Zip and Flap

The Croots Byland Leather Double Gun Slip with Zip and Flap is a traditional English double gunslip, handmade in Malton, England, for those who appreciate fine leatherwork and the enduring appeal of British craftsmanship.

Part of the distinguished Byland Leather collection, this double gunslip showcases many of the qualities that have made traditional English sporting leather goods so highly regarded. Crafted from the finest leather hides and fully dyed using natural drum-dyeing techniques.  The leather has a rich, uniform appearance and a smooth finish that complements the timeless character of the design.

Croots pairs this with vegetable-tanned bridle leather straps and trims, together with solid brass buckles.  This creates a piece that feels as appropriate on a formal game day as it does accompanying a well-used favourite gun to the shooting ground.

The finest leather hides used throughout the Byland range are fully dyed using natural drum-dyeing and finishing techniques to create a smooth, uniform appearance. It is the same grade of leather that saddlers and bespoke shoemakers have valued for over a century, chosen for both its appearance and the way it performs over time.

The result is a gunslip that develops its own character through years of use while retaining the timeless appeal that defines traditional English sporting leather goods.

The traditional flap and buckle fastening is central to that appeal. It gives the slip the familiar look and feel associated with classic British shooting equipment while concealing a thoughtful modern addition. An extra zip opening allows the slip to be opened fully for drying and maintenance after a wet day in the field, helping care for both the leather exterior and the fleece-lined interior.
