C.S. Osborne Harness Needles are made from durable alloy steel wire with a polished finish for smooth sewing through leather and other dense materials. In our experience, these are the best hand-sewing leather needles you can get.

2 Key Features

• The egg-shaped eye makes it easier to thread thicker, waxed thread without weakening the needle or creating a bulky area that can snag as it passes through stitching holes. 
• The blunt tip guides the needle through pre-punched holes, helping prevent scratches on the leather and accidental thread piercing during saddle stitching.

At a 19-gauge thickness and 2-1/4” length, they are easy to handle and long enough for even the thickest assemblies.

Common uses include leather goods, heavy-duty upholstery, equestrian tack, and repair work.

Note: These needles are optimized to work with Sailrite® Diamond Stitching Chisels and 2-Ply Waxed Polyester Hand Sewing Thread.
