Hey guys what post lenghth should I get for some 8-9oz leather?

For future reference how do I calculate for choosing snaps/rivets/grommets

If you are doing any amount of leather work you'll need all sizes.

Get the longest posts you can with line 24 snaps and you can always cut them down but the best idea is to get some of every size.

The local leather store only sells the long ones, and I suck at trimming them. But your right I should just order all the sizes ill end up using them eventually anyway : p

I don't like trimming either but this jig I made makes it easier when I have to.

I use a drill bit to trim the post down and it works quite well.
