Rivet Post Length AdvisorTanner Guild

Calculate the correct rivet post length based on your total leather material stack thickness and hardware style.

Leather Parameters

The total thickness of all layers of leather to be fastened together.

Target post length range
6.0 - 7.0 mm
(2-3 mm clearance stack addition)

For proper seating and setting, the rivet shaft must stand proud of the material stack. Double caps require a smaller click clearance, while copper rivets need a longer stem to cut down and hammer mushroom.

Recommended Standard Hardware Size: Small / 6mm post
Material and calculation specifications designed for professional saddlers and leathercraft hobbyists. Measure twice, cut once.
