Hey guys,
I've been looking for eyelets with about a 3/16" diameter hole, and around 5/16" outside diameter.
It needs to go through 1/8-3/16" thigh leather, two layers of 5-6 ounce.
And I would prefer something that I can get a die for to out in a press.
Also probably something with a washer as it needs to look clean from the front and back.
The closest thing I have seen was off one of the china sites, but they had a hand setter, and they only came in nickle or brass, preferably I want it to be copper, though I have little faith in that and would like black ones and nickle ones.
I feel like shoe lace holes from boots would be perfect, I don't know if I just havnt searched enough or if they just don't make them long enough for the thicker leather.
Let me know if anyone has any input.
Thanks,
Jed
