Teales Devonshire Oiled Leather Travel Slip

Teales Devonshire Oiled Leather Travel Slip

The Teales Devonshire Oiled Leather Travel Slip protects shotguns during transport, storage, and travel with dependable structure and proven materials. It combines practical firearm protection with traditional British leather craftsmanship rooted in countryside shooting heritage.

The Teales Devonshire Oiled Leather Travel Slip uses thick oiled leather hide to provide durability, structure, and resistance to everyday wear. The oiled finish helps repel light surface moisture while keeping the leather supple through repeated handling and seasonal use.

Teales tans the leather using vegetable dyes, reducing chemical input during production and supporting a more considered manufacturing approach. The hide is cut to Teales’ own pattern, creating a straighter leading edge that allows easier loading and improved alignment when inserting the firearm.

Strong, oiled stitching reinforces stress points along the seams and zip line. This construction helps the slip maintain its shape over time, even with frequent transport between home, vehicle, and shoot.

Inside, a synthetic wool-mix lining cushions barrels and actions to protect metalwork and wood finishes. The lining reduces movement during transit and adds a layer of impact protection when the slip is set down.

A robust metal zip runs smoothly along the length of the slip, securing the firearm fully during travel. Leather carry handles provide balanced weight distribution for comfortable short carries and vehicle transfers.

They suit careful owners who transport firearms by vehicle rather than extended foot travel.  As a natural leather product, slight colour variation may occur between photographs and the finished item. Each slip develops its own character over time through use.
