Description
Add authentic medieval detail to your leather projects with this set of 5 Brass Belt Studs, also known as cochos. Each stud is cast from solid brass and features sturdy pegs that allow you to rivet them securely onto belts, pouches, straps, or armor fittings.
Measuring approx. 2 cm × 3 cm, these studs are compact as well as eye-catching, offering both strength and decorative appeal. Their natural brass finish lends a timeless, historical character, making them ideal for reenactment kits, LARP gear, or custom leathercraft.
Directions for Use
-
Place the stud peg through the leather and secure with a brass washer.
-
Lightly hammer the peg with hammer until it mushrooms over the washer, locking it in place.
-
Trim the peg beforehand if it extends too far, to prevent bending or breakage.
Care Instructions
-
Brass is softer than steel therefore avoid striking too hard while riveting.
-
Clean gently with a soft cloth to maintain finish.
-
Store in a dry place; natural patina will develop over time.
Note
As these Brass Belt Studs are hand-cast from solid brass, slight variations in shape and finish may occur, adding to their authentic medieval charm.
