Solid Brass Chicago Screws

These Chicago screws are solid brass all the way through - no plating to chip or wear off, and nothing to rust. The two parts, a threaded post and a slotted cap screw, clamp layers of leather or webbing without sewing or riveting, and unscrew again whenever you need to swap a buckle or adjust a fitting. The natural brass colour deepens to a soft patina with use, which suits veg-tan leather especially well.
