Eyelet

Appearance

It has the shape of a round ring with a circular hole, assembled by pressing the front ring and the back washer together. It is mainly made of metals such as brass, iron, and aluminum, and the surface is finished with glossy treatments, matte coatings, black nickel plating, or similar finishes.

Use

It is used where cords are threaded and pulled, such as in shoes or hoodies, and in adjustment holes where the pin of a belt buckle catches. It is also used as a fastening component when making ventilation holes in underarms or the sides of hats.

• Hole reinforcement Supports the perimeter of the hole where tension is concentrated, preventing it from tearing or fraying
• Friction reduction Prevents the fabric surface from being scratched and damaged when cords or pins pass through
• Ventilation maintenance Secures ventilation holes in areas like the underarms so they do not collapse and maintain their shape

When choosing

For lace-up shoes or garments, the height and style of lacing can be understood through the number of holes (3-hole, 4-hole, etc.) in the product description. For garments exposed to sweat or frequent washing, it is advisable to check whether they have rust-resistant treatments or are made of brass or aluminum that do not rust.
