Small Hardware, Big Function: Chicago Screws That Hold

Chicago screws are a simple fix for belts, straps, and other leather gear. Whether you’re building something new or just replacing hardware, these screws let you secure buckles or leather layers without stitching. Each set uses standard 8-32 threading and fits most belt setups — strong enough to hold and easy to remove when needed.

Types of Chicago Screws

These Chicago screws for leather belts come in a variety of finishes, from low-profile to decorative. All measure around 1/4” in length and are made to grip tight without stripping.

  • Black Chicago Screws (4-Pack): Black oxide finish with a clean, matte look. Blends into darker leathers — great for gun belts, work belts, or field gear.
  • Chrome Chicago Screws with Floral Embossing: Adds some shine and style. These polished screws have a detailed floral pattern — a solid choice for custom belts, straps, or leather accessories.
  • Brass Chicago Screws with Floral Embossing: Same engraved style with a warm brass finish. Looks right at home on Western belts or anything with a more classic, rugged feel.
  • Standard Chrome Chicago Screws: A clean, polished option with no extra design. Works well with chrome buckles or gear that uses bright hardware.
