equipments

I would like to know what weight leather is used for the gunners haversack and the tube pouch. I have read the description in the 1863 Ordnance manual, however I would like to hear from someone who has or has handled a "real" one. As most know what the book says and what really went to the men in the field are not always one in the same.
Thanks
