Riveting 3/8" Leather

Recommended Posts

I make leather dog leashes and one of my clients asked me to make a 3/8" leash with a thumb loop riveted about half way down from the handle. Should I even attempt this? I feel that the integrity of the leather might be compromised by doing so, but maybe I'm completely wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks!

What thickness leather and will the addition of the thumb loop mean that the rivet is going through 2 or 3 layers?

The leather is between 10-12 oz. Not sure if it will be going through all three layers.

You should be ok. I would stitch it on then place a rivet in the middle. The stitching would help reinforce the area. I'd use a #12 copper rivet but that is a personal preference.
