John James Leather Needle Range (#03 – #10)

These needles have unusual triangulated (cutting) points to enable them to pass through tough materials without causing unnecessary abrasion.
While, as their name suggests, they were originally intended for use when leather working, they are also ideal when working with other media such as suede and soft plastics.
Leather needles are sometimes referred to as Glovers needles because years ago they were used by glovers, who specialised in the art of hand making gloves.
These needles are still used today, especially in all types of leather work including shoe making and shoe repairs, belts and leather garments.
Leather needles have a triangular point, which enables them to pierce and pass through tough materials such as leather, suede and vinyl without tearing.
