Eyelets, or eyelet, is a circular metal or plastic ring, formed by two parts, used to reinforce a hole through which a ribbon, a shoelace, etc., passes. The eyelets can be applied to clothes, bags, bags, sneakers, among others.
The word eyelet is also written without the letter s, that is, eyelet. Although the plural of eyelets or eyelet is eyelets.
The eyelet application can have various functions such as decorating, ventilating, closing. In tennis, it has the function of closing and adjusting it to the foot. Some sneakers have eyelets near the sole that serve to ventilate the sole.
Eyelets are manufactured in various colors and sizes, each with its defined function. The larger ones, made of plastic, are used in curtains, forming an opening through which the support rod passes.
The eyelets, which are made up of two parts, are applied with the help of their own pliers or even with the use of a machine, which make the hole and join the two parts. Some are simply applied by fitting, in the hole, previously prepared for the same.
