36mm Solid Brass Leather Strap Keeper

The 36mm Solid Brass Leather Strap Keeper is a durable and attractive hardware fitting designed to hold the loose end of a leather strap securely in position.

Why Choose This Solid Brass Keeper?

Solid brass is valued by professional leatherworkers, saddlers and manufacturers because it combines strength with a traditional, premium appearance. It does not rely on a thin decorative plating and will not peel or flake like some plated finishes.

The brass surface may gradually develop a natural patina through handling and exposure to the environment. Many leatherworkers appreciate this ageing process because it complements the way quality leather develops character over time. The keeper can also be polished when a brighter brass appearance is preferred.

Its simple fixed design keeps loose strap ends controlled while giving the finished project a tidy and professional appearance. Pair it with compatible 36mm solid brass buckles, rings and other fittings to create a coordinated hardware set.
