Tandy Leather Chicago Screws are versatile, threaded fasteners designed for secure, semi-permanent assembly in leathercraft projects. Offering a balance of strong holding power and easy removability, they are ideal for belts, straps, holsters, bags, sheaths, harnesses, and other custom leather goods. Unlike permanent rivets, Chicago screws allow for adjustments, repairs, and hardware changes without damaging the material. Easy to install using a punch and simple hand tightening, they provide a clean, polished finish that enhances the look of handmade items. Suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike, these fasteners support a wide range of leather thicknesses and are especially useful for projects requiring interchangeable or adjustable components. Available in various sizes.
Thread size is 8-32.

Claire F. ★★★★★

Put these on a leather wallet I just finished and they look clean and professional. The threads catch smoothly and the whole thing feels solid without being bulky.

Sophia ★★★★★

Finally, a fastener that actually stays put through daily wear but still lets me swap out a buckle when the mood strikes. The threading is clean and catches right away—no frustrating cross-threading.

Eva T. ★★★★★

Took apart a belt I’d stitched wrong and these threaded fasteners came out clean without stripping the holes—then went right back in tight. The semi-permanent hold is exactly what I needed for a bag flap I swap out seasonally.
