How to chose the correct-length rivet?
Whether we work with leather, webbing or fabric, the thickness of the material is always the deciding factor. For a the rivet to spread properly, choose one that is about 2–3 mm longer than the total thickness of the material. For rivet length see dimension "B" in the table.
Info: If the rivet is rubbed intensely, the gold finish may wear away and a silver layer may appear on the surface. This does not mean that the rivet is not brass. Even if the color changes, the quality of the rivet remains the same. See FAQ The brass rivets have changed color to silver over time. How is this possible? for more information.
