Description
These 50 brass washers serve as essential fittings for riveting leather straps and steel pieces when crafting or repairing armor. In the forge, washers like these distribute the pressure of the rivet head, preventing the leather or metal from tearing under stress. The rivets designed to pair with these washers can be found in the “also available” section of this page, allowing you to securely fasten your armor components.
The washers measure 11 mm in overall diameter, providing a sturdy surface area to support the rivet. Their interior diameter ranges from approximately 4 mm to 4.2 mm, accommodating rivet shafts of matching size to ensure a tight, reliable fit.
Fun fact: In medieval armor, brass washers were often preferred because the metal’s slight softness helped absorb shock and prevent damage to the leather or metal plates, much like how these washers function in modern armor crafting today.
