C.S. Osborne No. 503 2½-Inch Curved Leather-Point Needles
When to choose it
Choose the 2½-inch No. 503 when your upholstery repair calls for a curved leather point. Compare its point with a round point before shopping by length alone. Two needles of the same nominal size can be intended for different materials or stitch paths.
Osborne lists separate oval and flat gauges on this series. At the 2½-inch size the figures are 19 and 23. Check the available turning room and the thread you plan to use. Compare an extra-light round point when the leather-point profile is unsuitable for the material.

Questions about this product
Why does Osborne give two gauge figures?
The No. 503 table has separate oval and flat gauge columns. Match both when comparing two sizes.
Is this the round-point 501X?
The 503 uses a leather point. Compare the 501X for an extra-light round point.
Does the pack mix several lengths?
The selected listing repeats the 2½-inch size. Verify the variant if you need another length.
