Pitch Black Busk - 14"
Code: CMS-B4-14-7B
$19.00
Our Pitch Black Busk - 14" takes the dark aesthetic all the way - black steel, black hooks and posts, and black tipping on the ends for a fully matte, head-to-toe dark finish. Where the Gunmetal busk offers a vintage gleam, the Pitch Black is all about subtlety and intention - no shine, no contrast, just a clean, understated closure that disappears into dark fabric and lets the rest of your corset speak. Perfect for formal gothic builds and dark fashion corsetry where every detail counts.
Each side is 1/2" wide and the busk measures 14" (35.6 cm) in total length - a strong choice for overbust corsets and full-length builds where a seamless dark finish at the center front is part of the design intent.
Features
- Fully black finish - black coated steel, black hooks and posts, and black tipped ends
- Matte black finish rather than the shine of standard silver or gunmetal hardware
- Each side is 1/2" (12mm) wide flat steel
- 14" (35.6 cm) total length with 7 hooks and posts
- Thickness: .80mm
- Black nylon coating for durability and rust resistance
- Safe to dry clean
- Post spacing: 2" center to center
- See the Technical Specs section below for additional dimensions and details
Construction Notes
- Use as the front closure in single or double-layer corsets
- The fully matte black finish makes this busk ideal for gothic corsetry, formal dark builds, and any design where hardware should blend rather than contrast
- Pairs beautifully with Black Grommets and other black hardware for a fully coordinated finish
- Works with both flat and spiral steel boning for balanced structure
- This 14" length is well suited to overbust corsets and full-length builds
- See the Tips & Tutorials section below for specific guidance on setting busks
Pro Tip: When setting your busk, first baste to ensure even alignment of the hook and post sides before final machine stitching to avoid twisting or tension issues in the finished garment.
Recommended Uses
- Great For: Gothic corsetry, formal dark fashion builds, and any design where a fully matte black closure is part of the aesthetic
- Also Works For: Cosplay, theatrical costumes, and fashion corsetry where hardware should blend seamlessly into dark fabric
No Shine. No Compromise: The Pitch Black Busk is built for makers who want their hardware to disappear into the design - pair it with black grommets and hardware for a finish that is cohesive from lacing to closure.
