The Role of Hardware in Leather Projects

Hardware serves as the finishing touch to any leather project. It’s more than a fastener or an attachment detail — it gives the project a cohesive look and helps it stand out. It’s form and function rolled into one.

Solid Brass vs. Stainless Steel Hardware

Two popular types of leather hardware are solid brass and stainless steel. Both have unique strengths and shortcomings. Here’s what you need to know when choosing between solid brass and stainless steel hardware:

Solid Brass

Solid brass offers more corrosion resistance than stainless steel, making it an ideal choice for leather projects with frequent exposure to water. Brass typically boasts a warm, yellow-gold color with subtle undertones of gray, green or brown. In some cases, it can be darker or more bronze.

If you want to pair your project with warm-colored hardware, brass might be the better and more affordable choice. Brass hardware typically matches well with black, brown, burgundy and dark green leather.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel usually outperforms brass hardware in strength. This makes it ideal for rugged applications, such as shoes and saddlery. In terms of color, stainless steel has a silver finish, which looks great if you’re trying to achieve a more cool-toned look for your project. Stainless steel hardware generally complements black, gray, yellow and blue leather.
