Choosing leather hardware, patterns & care often comes down to one practical fork: do you need double-cap rivets in several colors, or Chicago screws in a chosen post length? Quantity and price matter next, but fastening style sets the direction. This comparison separates the rivet kits from the screw assortments, then narrows the choice by package size, included tools, and the dimensions named for each kit.
Quick take
Begin by choosing the fastening family:
- Double-cap rivets: Compare the 240 Set Leather Rivets with the 480 Sets Rivets for Leather.
- Chicago screws: Compare the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit with the 100 Brass-Plated Chicago Screws lot.
The first family emphasizes colors and sizes; the second focuses on screw construction and post length.
Listed-price comparison

Product notes
240 Set Leather Rivets
The 240 Set Leather Rivets kit suits a shopper who wants setup tools bundled with the hardware. It includes 240 double-cap rivet sets in four colors and three sizes, plus a punch, two installation tools, and a plastic storage box that separates sizes and colors. That is a concrete reason to choose it for leather craft projects where keeping components organized matters. The limitation is its 240-set quantity: the 480 Sets Rivets kit names twice as many sets while keeping the same four-color, three-size outline. Its lower listed price makes the smaller pack a straightforward choice when quantity is not the priority.
480 Sets Rivets for Leather
The 480 Sets Rivets for Leather kit is the quantity-led rivet choice. Its double-cap assortment lists 480 sets in four colors and three sizes, and the kit includes three setting tools. The description also identifies copper construction with plated color finishes and names repair and craft uses, including belts, shoes, hats, jeans, and jackets. The limitation is the three-size format: shoppers seeking the five post lengths named by the 80 Sets Chicago Screw kit will need a different assortment. Choose this kit when a larger double-cap rivet pack matters more than the lower-priced 240-set format.
80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit
The 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit fits projects where removable hardware is useful. The description says the screws are easy to install and remove and can be used repeatedly, while the kit divides 80 sets across five post lengths: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16, and 11/16 inch. The screw and base diameter is listed as 3/8 inch, and a clear box separates sizes. The limitation is its 80-set count, which is below the 100-screw lot and the two rivet-pack counts. Its reason to win is the range of Chicago screw lengths, not color assortment.
Leather Hardware - 100 Brass-Plated Chicago Screws - 3/8
The Leather Hardware - 100 Brass-Plated Chicago Screws - 3/8 lot is aimed at a specific screw format. It contains 100 brass-plated Chicago screws; the 3/8-inch measurement refers to post length, and the cap is 7/16 inch in diameter. The threaded center hole is another concrete reason to choose it when that construction matches the project. The limitation is size coverage: the lot names one post length, unlike the five-length assortment in the 80 Sets kit. At $25, it has the highest listed price, so its appeal rests on the 100-piece lot and brass-plated finish.
Final recommendations by use case
- Lowest listed price: Choose 240 Set Leather Rivets when the $8.57 price is the deciding constraint.
- Larger rivet pack: Choose 480 Sets Rivets for Leather when the larger double-cap quantity named in the title matters most.
- Multiple Chicago screw lengths: Choose 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit for the assorted-length format.
- Specific brass-plated format: Choose Leather Hardware - 100 Brass-Plated Chicago Screws - 3/8 when that named size and finish fit the project.
