The Schmetz 134 LR Size 170 industrial sewing needles feature an LR leather reverse twist point, which produces a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction. This results in a decorative seam leaning slightly to the left, ideal for heavy leatherwork that requires strong, stylish finishes. Built with a durable chrome coating, these needles reduce friction, resist wear, and ensure consistent performance in industrial lockstitch machines.
