Eyelet old gold - Large

The Eyelet Old Gold - Large is a high-quality hardware component essential for craftsmen seeking both structural integrity and authentic aesthetics in their leatherwork. Made from durable brass, this eyelet is built to withstand the rigors of daily use while resisting corrosion and wear. The "Old Gold" finish gives the metal a warm, weathered appearance, evoking the look of antique bronze or aged brass. This makes it a perfect match for historical costumes, fantasy armor, and rugged outdoor gear where modern, shiny hardware would look out of place.

The dimensions of this eyelet set it apart as a heavy-duty solution. The outer diameter (A) measures 12mm, providing a substantial visible ring that reinforces the hole effectively without being overly bulky. The inner diameter (B) is 6.1mm, which is spacious enough to allow for the smooth passage of thick leather laces, paracord, or heavy-duty thread. This size is particularly useful for lacing systems on armor or large bags where friction can quickly wear down smaller holes.

Crucially, the barrel length (C) is 6.5mm. This is significantly deeper than standard eyelets, which are often designed for thin fabrics or light leather. The extended length allows this eyelet to securely fasten through thick, full-grain hides or multiple layers of leather stacked together. This makes it an indispensable tool for creating robust belts, harness straps, and footwear that require strong, reinforced lacing points.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with leatherworking tools. The eyelet typically consists of a ring and a washer (or spur), which are hammered together to crimp the leather securely in place. Once installed, it creates a permanent, friction-free loop that protects the leather edges from tearing. Whether you are repairing a favorite piece of gear or designing a new LARP tunic, the Eyelet Old Gold - Large offers the perfect blend of function and form. It is a small detail that makes a big difference in the longevity and professional look of your finished project.
