Brass & Antique Brass Washers – Leathercraft, Armor Riveting & Belt Making

Description

Strengthen your leatherwork and armor projects with these Brass & Antique Brass Washers, inspired by the vital fittings used in medieval workshops. Historically, such washers were used to reinforce riveted joins on belts, harnesses, straps, and plate armor, spreading the pressure to prevent tearing and prolonging the life of the gear.

Made from solid brass, these set of 50 washers are tough and built to last. Choose between a polished brass finish for a bright, traditional look, or an antique patina for a darker, time-worn effect, ideal for reenactment kits, LARP armor, or period-correct restorations.

With their simple yet effective design, they are a must-have for armorers, leatherworkers, and reenactors who want functionality as well as historical authenticity. Perfect for reinforcing belts, fastening armor plates, securing shield straps, or adding strength to harnesses, these Brass & Antique Brass Washers combine practicality with medieval character.

Care Instructions

• Store in a dry environment to preserve finish

• Brass washers naturally develop patina over time; polish if a bright look is desired

• Avoid abrasive cleaning on antique brass finish to maintain aged character

Note

As with all hand-finished brass items, minor variations in shade or patina of the Brass & Antique Brass Washers may occur, adding to the authentic look.
