Hi everyone,
I wanted to share that the Standard Rivet Company has officially closed after 136 years in business. They were a longstanding supplier of rivets, dome spots, and nailheads used in Western-style belts, holsters, tack, and leathercraft.
We wrote a brief article reflecting on their history and what this means for the industry.

We’d love to hear your thoughts — did you use their nailheads or other products? Are you seeing changes in sourcing options already?
Thanks for letting us share this important moment with fellow leatherworkers.
