Read the selection guide →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
| Eyelet Type | Typical Application | Selection Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Domed Brass Eyelets | Garments, shoes, bags, accessories, curtains and decorative textile products | Useful when a more visible rounded metal look is desired. |
| Flat Brass Eyelets | Textiles, bags, leather goods, banners, curtains and technical fabrics | Suitable for a cleaner and lower-profile surface appearance. |
| Contoured Brass Eyelets | Bags, footwear, outerwear, tarpaulins and decorative textile applications | The edge form should be selected according to product design. |
| Strainer Brass Eyelets | Outerwear, shoes, bags and products requiring perforated visual detail | The perforated structure should match the functional and visual requirement of the product. |
| Coin Type Brass Eyelets | Bags, leather goods, accessories and special design products | Can be selected when a wider cap-like eyelet appearance is preferred. |
| Long or Short Barrel Brass Eyelets | Different fabric, leather, tarpaulin and technical textile thicknesses | Barrel height should be selected according to material thickness. |
| Double-Sided Brass Eyelets | Bags, accessories, textile and leather products visible from both sides | Suitable for applications where both front and back appearance matter. |
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.
| Size Group | Approx. Inner Diameter | Typical Application | Selection Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| No 2 - No 3 | 4.5 mm - 5.5 mm / 0.18 in - 0.22 in | Tags, babywear, blouses, small leather goods, accessories and fine cords | Hole preparation and setting die compatibility should be checked carefully. |
| No 4 - No 5 | 6 mm - 8.5 mm / 0.24 in - 0.33 in | Shoes, bags, hoodies, sweatpants, sportswear and medium textiles | Suitable for standard lace and drawstring passages. |
| No 24 | 9 mm - 10 mm / 0.35 in - 0.39 in | Parkas, hoodies, shoes, bags, leather goods and outerwear | Washer type and matching setting die should be checked before application. |
| No 26 - No 28 | 12 mm - 13 mm / 0.47 in - 0.51 in | Bags, footwear, tarpaulins, curtains, thick fabrics and technical textiles | Useful for wider cord or fixing passages. |
| No 31 - No 34 | 17 mm - 28 mm / 0.67 in - 1.10 in | Tarpaulins, awnings, banners, curtains, tents, covers and technical textiles | Large sizes require correct washer support, press force and test application. |

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.
