I'm not sure, but i think it is around 0.76g/cc, based on this:

leather density measure:

The vast majority of leather is sold according to its area. The leather is placed through pin-wheel or electronic measuring machines and its surface area is determined. The unit of measurement is square meter, square decimeter or square foot. The thickness is also important, and this is measured using a thickness gauge (the unit of measurement is millimeters, e.g., 1.8 mm is a standard thickness for a school shoe).

In some parts of the world, top-grain thicknesses are described using weight units of ounces. Although the statement is in ounces only, it is an abbreviation of ounces per square foot. The thickness value can be obtained by the conversion: 1 oz/ft² = 1/64 inch (0.4 mm).

Hence, leather described as 7 to 8 oz is 7/64 to 8/64 inches (2.8 to 3.2 mm) thick. The weight is usually given as a range because the inherent variability of the material makes ensuring a precise thickness very difficult. Other leather manufacturers state the thickness directly in millimeters.

7 ounces = 198.446662 grams

8 ounces = 226.796185 grams

it is an abbreviation of ounces per square foot:

1 (square foot) = 929.0304 square centimetres

1 (square foot) = 92 903.04 square millimetres

92 903.04mm^2 * 3.2mm = 297 289.728mm^3

226g / 297 289.728mm^3 =

226g / 297.289728cc = 0.760201173g/cc
