I recently got studs for my leather jacket and am wondering the best way to stick them on there. The studs are regular two prong cone studs 1/2". My leather jacket is pretty thick so I wanted to get some insight on the best way to put those things on there. Thanks for the help!
a good way is to use a woodworking awl, which is just a sharp metal point with a handle, and make two small holes 1/2" apart where you want your studs. you can use the prongs of the stud to make pressure marks to get placement right. just try to keep the holes small as not to damage the leather too much, especially when doing a lot!
i use a dart to poke holes. like Grime said you can make presure marks to know where to poke the holes. but when you get the hang of it you might end up doing it without, i just know where the holes should be and how far apart afer all the studding i've done, works a lot faster. but i really recomend making presure marks first.
try to work inside the lining (not through). cut a hole in it so you can get inside and bend the studs, then sew it back up whenyoure finished (or not). when you put the studs through the lining there is a big chance of warping the jacket.
Thanks folks! I used an x acto knife for the first three and the incision was too big when I pierced the leather. I'm going to try something else because the knife doesn't work well, plus I cut open my finger earlier this evening while trying hah. The three that I did don't look all that bad, I'm just not that pleased. Luckily I did them on the top lapel. I'm going to try something else like that awl
