    Default The suede thickness for lining boxes?

    G'Day to All!

    I have a question about the suede or skin thickness for lining boxes. I'm just thinking toward the boxes with soft lining interior made from suede or skin wrapped around thin cardboard with glue and after glued to the inner box walls.
    But which should be thickness of skin used for this lining?
    I've visited today a shop for shoesmaker in my city, but the salesperson was not be able to help me, she didn't knew the aswer. She has sad that should be thin skin but she was not sure.

    Could you help me in this question - the skin thickness, preferrably in millimeters.

    Thank you for replies!

    I buy pigskin suede splits, their thickness would be less than 1mm.

    Ditto. A number of us at the Canberra Guild use this suede. 0.6-0.8mm and a really good price. Pig Split Skins Suede - Leather Chrome Tanned, Pigskin - Product Detail - Birdsall Leathercraft
