Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sail maker's leather palm used for?
It is used to push needles through heavy materials like sailcloth, canvas, and leather. The metal thimble in the palm provides a firm surface to press the needle, protecting your hand and improving stitching efficiency.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the palm (excluding the thumb). Compare with our size chart: Small (approx. 7-8 in), Medium (8-9 in), Large (9-10 in). The leather strap adjusts further for a custom fit.
Is this palm suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, we offer both left-hand and right-hand versions. Please specify your preference when ordering.
Can I use it for DIY leatherwork?
Absolutely. While it is designed for marine canvas and sail repair, it works equally well for stitching leather, webbing, and other heavy fabrics.
