Choosing leather hardware, patterns & care means solving two different decisions at once: do you need fasteners for a repair or embellishment, or a paper guide for making a shoulder bag? Even among rivet kits, quantity, fastening style, included tools, and size assortment change the fit. Match the project first, then use price as a tie-breaker rather than treating every kit as interchangeable.
Quick take
- For a compact double-cap rivet setup: The 240 Set Leather Rivets includes 240 sets in four colors and three sizes, plus a punch, two installation tools, and a storage box.
- For a larger double-cap supply: 480 Sets Rivets for Leather keeps the four-color, three-size assortment and adds three setting tools.
- For screw-based fastening: 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets offers five sizes, steel construction, and a storage box.
- For shoulder-bag construction: DIY Sewing Pattern Leather Craft Shoulder Bags Template Pattern Hollowed is a hard kraft-paper template marked as template only.

Product notes
240 Set Leather Rivet Kit
At USD 8.57, this kit combines 240 double-cap rivet sets in four colors and three sizes with a punch, two rivet installation tools, and a plastic storage box divided by size and color. That package makes sense for a repair or embellishment project where having the basic setting pieces together matters. The concrete tradeoff is quantity: 240 sets are fewer than the 480 sets in the other double-cap assortment. Choose it when the included punch, tools, and organized box are more important than having the larger count.
480 Sets Rivets for Leather
The 480 Sets Rivets for Leather kit is the quantity-led double-cap choice: it includes 480 sets in four colors and three sizes, along with three setting tools. Its description also names uses across leather craft, belts, shoes, hats, jeans, jackets, and other DIY work, giving it a broad project brief without changing the fastening style. The limitation is its higher listed price than the 240-set kit, so the extra quantity needs to matter for your project. It suits makers who want the same color-and-size structure with more sets on hand.
80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets
The Chicago screw assortment serves a different fastening format from the double-cap kits. It contains 80 sets split across five sizes, with post lengths of 6, 10, 12, 15, and 18 mm, a 5 mm post diameter, and a 10 mm screw and base diameter. Steel construction, a plated finish, and a partitioned clear storage box are also specified, while the screws are described as removable and reusable. The limitation is the 80-set total, with 16 sets per size, making it a smaller overall count than either double-cap assortment.
DIY Sewing Pattern Leather Craft Shoulder Bags
This shoulder-bag choice is a project template rather than a fastening kit. The description identifies a hard kraft-paper pattern for DIY leather handcraft, and the title clearly frames it around making shoulder bags. It is the natural match when your immediate need is a bag shape and a paper stencil that can support longer-term use. The important limitation is explicit: it is template only, so it does not serve the same role as a rivet assortment with installation pieces. Its USD 31.91 listed price also places it at the top of this comparison.
Final recommendation by use case
For a repair or decorative leather project that needs a punch and setting pieces together, choose 240 Set Leather Rivets. If the deciding factor is a 480-set supply in the same four-color, three-size double-cap format, choose 480 Sets Rivets for Leather. For removable fastening with five listed sizes, choose 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets. For shaping a shoulder bag, choose the DIY Sewing Pattern Leather Craft Shoulder Bags Template Pattern Hollowed and treat it as a pattern purchase, not a hardware kit.
