Frequently Asked Questions

Silver Double Capped leather rivets on a grey background

What are leather rivets used for?

Leather rivets are permanent fasteners used to securely join two or more pieces of leather together. They are commonly used on belts, bags, wallets, straps, collars and other leather goods where stitching alone may not provide sufficient strength.

What is the difference between double cap and burr rivets?

Double cap rivets have a finished cap on both sides, making them ideal for decorative applications where both faces of the leather are visible.

Burr rivets are designed for maximum strength and are commonly used on heavy-duty items such as saddlery, harnesses and work belts.

How do I choose the correct rivet size?

The rivet post length should extend beyond the leather stack (the combined thickness of the leather being joined) by 1.5 to 2 times the thickness of the leather stack. For example, if your leather stack is 4 mm thick, you'll want a rivet with a post length of 6-8 mm.

A rivet that is too short will not set correctly, while one that is too long may not fasten securely. Product descriptions include recommended leather thicknesses to help you select the right size.

Can leather rivets replace stitching?

Rivets are often used alongside stitching to reinforce areas that experience high stress, such as handles, straps and belt attachments. For many applications, combining stitching and rivets provides the strongest and most durable construction.
