Gun Metal Leather Rivets Double Capped - 9 mm Head

Our Double Cap Rivets are the ideal choice for leatherworkers looking for a strong, attractive and corrosion-resistant fastening.

Designed with a finished cap on both sides, double cap rivets create a clean, professional appearance from every angle. They’re a popular choice for belts, bags, wallets, straps, dog collars and countless other leathercraft projects where both sides of the leather are visible.

Whether you’re a hobbyist, professional maker or small leather goods business, these leather rivets deliver dependable performance with a timeless finish.

Double cap rivets are suitable for a wide range of leatherworking applications, including:

• Leather belts
• Wallets
• Handbags and satchels
• Dog collars and leads
• Key fobs
• Watch straps
• Notebook covers
• Leather aprons
• Cases and organisers
• Decorative strap fixings

They are especially useful where stitching alone may not provide sufficient strength or where additional reinforcement is required.

Selecting the correct rivet is essential for achieving a secure, professional result. Our double cap rivets are available in a range of cap diameters and post lengths to suit different leather thicknesses.

When choosing a rivet, consider the combined thickness of the leather layers being joined. The post should be slightly longer than the total leather thickness (1.5 to 2 times) to allow the rivet to set correctly without becoming loose.

These rivets are designed to be installed using a compatible rivet setter and anvil, producing a neat, consistent finish with minimal effort.

For best results:

• Punch a clean hole using the correct size punch. The hole diameter should match the post diameter or be slightly larger (0.5 mm) for a snug fit.
• Select the appropriate post length for your leather thickness (1.5 to 2 times the leather stack thickness).
• Use a dedicated rivet setting tool.
• Test on an offcut before fitting to your finished project.

Correct installation ensures maximum holding strength and helps maintain the attractive double cap finish.
