Need a closure for thick leather, a snap assortment for straps and bags, screw-based hardware, or a template to start a handbag? The choice depends first on project format and leather thickness-not simply on picking the item with the most components.
When shopping for leather hardware, patterns & care, use the project type as your filter. Two choices are snap sets, one is a Chicago screw lot, and one is a Kraft Paper sewing pattern. That split makes the decision relatively clear once you know whether you are fastening, joining, or drafting.
Quick take
- Thicker-leather snap work: Black Line 24 Snaps 5/16 Post & 19/32 Cap.
- Regular and short snap posts: Black Line 20 Snaps.
- Threaded hardware: Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws.
- Bag shaping and sewing: Leather Craft Bag Sewing Pattern Set.

Decision matrix
- Leather thickness: The Line 24 set is specified for 8-10 oz leather. The Line 20 set covers regular posts for 5-7 oz leather and short posts for 4-5 oz leather.
- Post choice: Black Line 20 is the direct match when regular and short posts are both useful in one snap selection.
- Closure style: The Chicago screws use a threaded center hole, setting them apart from snap fasteners.
- Pattern work: The sewing set includes holes and a sample size of 18*20*7CM for a semi-circular handbag project.
Product notes
Black Line 24 Snaps 5/16 Post & 19/32 Cap - Leathercraft Hardware - SLC
The Black Line 24 Snaps - 5/16 Post & 19/32 Cap is the focused choice for a Line 24 closure. Its named configuration combines a 5/16-inch post with a 19/32-inch cap, and the 100-pack gives a defined quantity for repeated work. Those details make it a fit when you want the Line 24 format rather than a screw or pattern. The limitation is the fixed Line 24 setup: it does not offer the regular-and-short-post mix named in the Black Line 20 set. Choose it for the heavy-duty snap role; choose another format when the project starts with a template or threaded center hole.
Black Line 20 Snaps - Regular & Short Posts - Leathercraft Hardware - SLC
The Black Line 20 Snaps - Regular & Short Posts is the practical pick when two post lengths belong in the same snap choice. It includes regular 3/16-inch and short 1/8-inch posts, while its stated uses cover belts, straps, bags, holsters, and everyday leatherwork. That combination is the reason to choose it for mixed medium-duty projects. Its limitation is its Line 20 positioning: it is not the set associated with the thicker-leather range assigned to Line 24. The item remains a fastener assortment, so it is not a substitute for the semi-circular handbag pattern when the project need is cutting and sewing guidance.
Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws - 3/8
The Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws - 3/8 is the direct choice for screw-based leather hardware. Each screw is identified with a 3/8-inch post, a 7/16-inch cap, and a threaded hole in the center, giving it a clearly different format from the two snap sets. The limitation is equally concrete: the lot centers on Chicago screws in that stated post size, so it is not the matching choice when a Line 20 or Line 24 snap closure is required. Brass-plated metal keeps the purchase focused on hardware, not a pattern or a leather treatment. Pick it when the threaded center hole is part of the project plan.
Leather Craft Bag Sewing Pattern Set - Acrylic & Kraft Stencil for Crossbody Bag
The Leather Craft Bag Sewing Pattern Set - Acrylic & Kraft Stencil for Crossbody Bag is the pattern-first choice for a semi-circular handbag project. It is a sewing template with holes, laser precision cutting, Kraft Paper material, and a sample size of 18*20*7CM. Those details give it a defined role in shaping and sewing rather than fastening. Its limitation is that it supplies a template, not snaps or Chicago screws, so it cannot fill a hardware-only shopping list. Choose it when the project begins with a bag shape and sewing pattern; choose one of the other three when the immediate need is a metal closure component.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a Line 24 closure: choose Black Line 24 Snaps 5/16 Post & 19/32 Cap.
- For regular and short snap posts: choose Black Line 20 Snaps - Regular & Short Posts.
- For Chicago screw hardware: choose the Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws - 3/8.
- For a semi-circular handbag template: choose the Leather Craft Bag Sewing Pattern Set.
The dividing line is straightforward: the first two choices are snap formats, the third is threaded hardware, and the fourth is a pattern. Decide whether the project calls for fastening or drafting, then use the thickness or format cue attached to the matching item. That keeps the $35.74 price spread from becoming the main decision; project fit is the more useful filter.
