Brass Eyelets

Brass Eyelets and Grommets

Brass eyelets and grommets are metal hole-reinforcement components used in garments, shoes, bags, leather goods, tarpaulins, curtains, banners, accessories, craft projects and technical textiles. They help support the edge of a prepared hole, create a clean passage for cords, laces or drawstrings and add a decorative metal finish to the product surface.

In the E-Dugme brass eyelets category, buyers can compare domed brass eyelets, flat brass eyelets, contoured eyelets, narrow edge eyelets, coin type eyelets, strainer eyelets, short barrel eyelets, long barrel eyelets, oval eyelets and double-sided eyelets. Each model should be selected according to the application surface, hole size, cord diameter, washer structure and setting die compatibility.

What Are Brass Eyelets?

A brass eyelet is a metal capsule installed around a prepared hole in fabric, leather, canvas, coated fabric, bag material, shoe upper or technical textile surface. Once applied with the correct setting die and washer structure, the eyelet helps stabilize the hole edge and supports cord, lace, rope, elastic or attachment passage.

The most important technical value is the inner diameter. Inner diameter determines the passage size. Outer diameter affects the visible surface coverage. Barrel height affects compatibility with material thickness. Washer type affects how the eyelet sits on the surface after installation.

Types of Brass Eyelets

How to Choose Brass Eyelet Size

Brass eyelet size should be selected according to the cord, lace, rope or attachment component that will pass through the hole. Smaller sizes are useful for tags, babywear, fine cords and small accessories. Medium sizes are suitable for hoodies, sportswear, shoes, bags and leather goods. Larger sizes can be evaluated for tarpaulins, banners, curtains, tents and technical textiles.

Application Areas

• Garments, hoodies, sweatpants, coats, parkas and workwear
• Shoes, leather goods, belts, small accessories and bag flaps
• Tote bags, backpacks, pouches, covers, organizers and craft products
• Tarpaulins, awnings, banners, curtains, tents and camping equipment
• Outdoor textiles, coated fabrics, covers and technical textile products

Brass Eyelets and Stainless Steel Eyelets

Brass eyelets can be selected for garment, leather goods, bags and decorative textile projects where finish colour and trim appearance are central to the design. Stainless steel eyelets can be selected for outdoor, tarpaulin, banner, curtain, tent, shoe, bag and technical textile applications. The correct choice depends on application surface, material thickness, cord diameter, washer type, finish colour, installation method and production requirements.

Colour and Finish Options

Brass eyelets may be available in free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal and antique silver finishes depending on the product model. Free nickel and antique silver can support clean or technical designs. Black nickel and gun metal are useful for darker fabrics, bags and outerwear products. Gold and antique brass can create a more classic appearance on leather goods, bags and decorative textiles.

Washer, Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility

Brass eyelet installation depends on the eyelet capsule, prepared hole, washer type and compatible setting die. Some products may use plastic washers, some may use metal washers and some may offer product-specific washer options. The washer supports the material around the hole and helps the eyelet sit more evenly on the product surface.

For compatible installation equipment, visit the setting dies, fastening molds and application tools category. Depending on the application, eyelet setting dies, punching dies, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines or pneumatic machines can be evaluated.
