Needle size describes a dimension within a system; it does not make this a replacement for every industrial needle marked 100. Household and industrial formats can differ in shank, length and scarf position.

Where it fits in the decision
Choose the size alongside the thread and leather, then test hole appearance on an offcut. Buying a thicker needle is not a remedy for an unsuitable machine. Keep the packet so replacement needles can be ordered by their complete designation rather than memory of the color or size alone.

Before choosing this listing
This 100/16 card makes sense as a restocking purchase after a seam sample has established the size. Before that point, buy only enough for a controlled trial. Include the actual lining and folded edges in the sample; a single leather scrap cannot reproduce a thicker junction. Keep thread and stitch spacing fixed while evaluating the needle so the resulting hole pattern can be attributed to the change you made.
A five-needle card is easy to store with a project record. Mark the packet when you remove a needle and keep partly used needles elsewhere, with their history identified. If a replacement produces different results, check that it was fully inserted and oriented correctly before changing tension. The familiar 100/16 marking should be treated as one field in the specification, alongside the system, point, and thread, rather than as a complete shopping instruction for every machine in the workshop.
