Chicago Screws for Leather Belts
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.
