Description
The 3 Inch Curved Leather Point Needle Light #503 by C.S. Osborne is a premium-quality hand-sewing needle designed for working with leather, upholstery and other firm materials. Its curved profile provides improved access when stitching areas where a straight needle may be difficult to manoeuvre.
Manufactured from high-quality wire to C.S. Osborne’s exacting standards, this needle offers the strength, consistency and professional finish required by leatherworkers, upholsterers and repair specialists. The light curved construction makes it particularly useful for controlled hand stitching, detailed repairs and projects where access is limited.
The flat leather point is designed to penetrate leather more effectively than a conventional round-point sewing needle. Its 19-gauge point provides a fine, controlled entry into the material, helping the user produce accurate stitches while minimising unnecessary damage.
