Chatham Premium Pull Up Leather Full Zip Shotgun Slip

Chatham Pull Up Leather Full Zip Gunslip

The Chatham Pull Up Leather Full Zip Gunslip offers a traditional leather finish with a full-length zip for straightforward access to your shotgun. Its premium pull-up leather, fleece-lined interior and blocked end combine classic country styling with practical features for carrying and storing your gun. Brass hardware and an adjustable shoulder strap complete this leather gunslip.

What is Pull-Up Leather?

Pull-up leather is made using oils and waxes within the leather’s finish. When the material bends or flexes, these oils and waxes move, creating subtle shifts in colour and tone. This gives the leather a distinctive appearance that differs from a consistently coloured, uniform finish.

Over time, handling can bring out lighter areas and deeper shades across the surface. These changes contribute to a natural, vintage look, giving the leather more individual character as you use it. For shooters who prefer traditional materials, pull-up leather offers an appealing alternative to synthetic gun slips and finishes that remain more uniform.

The Chatham Full Zip Gunslip puts this distinctive leather to practical use. Its dark brown finish suits traditional shooting equipment, while the natural variation in the leather means its appearance can develop with age.

• Full-length zip closure: Provides access along the length of the gunslip.

• Adjustable shoulder strap: Offers an alternative to carrying the slip by hand.
• Short carry handle: Makes lifting and handling straightforward.

The defining feature of this model is its full-length zip closure. It provides access along the length of the slip, rather than relying on a flap and buckle arrangement. This makes it a useful option for shooters who prefer a zipped design when putting away or removing their shotgun.

Inside, a soft fleece lining cushions the gun and helps protect its finish from contact with the interior. The blocked end adds structure at the muzzle end, while the short carry handle makes the slip easy to lift. An adjustable shoulder strap offers an alternative carrying method, and the brass buckles and hardware complement the leather’s traditional appearance.

Choosing the Correct Length

This Chatham leather gunslip comes in 30-inch and 32-inch lengths. To choose correctly, measure your shotgun from end to end, including any fitted chokes or stock extensions. Select the smallest available slip length that accommodates the full measurement. A closer fit leaves less room for the gun to move inside during carrying and storage.

Choose the Chatham Pull Up Leather Full Zip Gunslip if you want the character of premium leather with the convenience of a full-length zip. The fleece lining, blocked end and adjustable shoulder strap make it a practical addition to your shooting equipment, whether you travel to the clay ground or head out for a day in the field.

The slip also features an oval detail suitable for initials. Personalisation is not offered by Ian Coley Country, but a local leatherworker may be able to personalise it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a full-zip gunslip and a flap-and-buckle gunslip?
