What are No. 66 Brass Eyelets?

The term "66 No." refers to a standard numbering system that specifies the eyelet's inner hole diameter, outer diameter, and flue (stem) length. These numbers often create a common language among manufacturers, making it easier to select the right product.

Structure and Properties

• Material: As the name suggests, it's made of rust and corrosion-resistant brass. This ensures long-lasting performance even when exposed to water and humidity.

• Function: It prevents fraying by reinforcing the edges of holes opened in materials such as fabric or leather and ensures the smooth movement of transition elements such as laces, ropes or cables.

• Dimensions: While the standard size of "No. 66" eyelets varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, they generally have a specific inner hole diameter and outer diameter. This size determines the thickness of the material the eyelet is suitable for and the size of rope or lace it can be used with.

Areas of Use

Brass Eyelets No. 66 are used in different areas depending on their size:

• Shoes and Boots: Ideal for reinforcing lace holes.

• Textile Products: Used for the holes through which the threads pass in jackets, coats or hooded sweatshirts.

• Bags and Accessories: It is preferred to drawstring the bag mouths or for decorative purposes.

In short, the "No. 66" designation is simply a code indicating the size of an eyelet. This code provides manufacturers and users with a clear understanding of the product's intended purpose and the materials it can be used with. By selecting the right eyelet, the best results can be achieved, both aesthetically and functionally.
