Our solid brass Line 24 snaps for leather consist of four components, a top cap, secured to the material with a socket, and a bottom stud, paired with an eyelet. The strong spring in the socket grips onto the groove in the stud to hold both sides firmly together. This is the quality hardware that you've been looking for. You can count on the consistent and perfect fitting every time! Solid brass snaps are ideal for leather products that are exposed to a lot to rain and water since solid brass does not rust. This is a package of 10 complete snap sets.
Product information:

To set the solid brass line 24 snaps with the long post, you need to first punch a hole in the leather for the snap cap and another hole for the snap post. Insert the cap into the hole, place the socket over the snap cap post to be set. Under the snap cap, you will need to place a concave anvil so the cap keeps the nice curve when you set it. To do this, you need a setter to hit with a mallet that will crimp the metal snap post around the inside of the socket. Insert the other part which is the post (eyelet) into the hole, place it on the flat anvil, place the stud over the post and use the setter to crimp the metal snap post (eyelet) inside the stud. The snap setter and the concave anvil required for this line 24 snap will also work with other post length sizes of line 24 jacket snaps.
When buying snaps, the thickness of leather must be considered. These solid brass line 24 snaps work great with 9 - 10 oz thick leather. An oz is about 1/64 inch thick.
Following is a video showing how to set line 24 jacket snaps with long post in leather. The procedure is the same for learning to set snaps in leather with line 20 and regular post length line 24. Just make sure you have the appropriate setter for the line of jacket snap used. Also the mini anvil makes a great work surface instead of using a large homemade anvil shown in the video.
