I am desperate, and need help finding hardware needed to finish a leather backpack. I am set on using antiqued brass hardware for the project and not nickel/chrome. I am hoping for some type of interesting looking buckle(s), plus dee rings and whatever else is needed for the backpack (rivets, maybe snaps). I am hoping someone here can direct me to a supplier that sells hardware of this type, and would sell it retail (similar to Tandy, e.g. i only need 1 - 3 buckles)
I bought a great piece of leather from Tandy about six months ago, but I am not satisfied with the hardware they have, so I have put off making this backpack. Unfortunately, I don't know where else to look besides tandy. I am hoping for something really well made, and I am willing to pay more for it. I was also hoping to get the hardware all at the same place, so that it would all have the same "shade" of antiqued brass
The backpack I intend on making is similar in nature to the one at Saddleback. I plan on using the same types of hardware (no zippers), but hopefully something a bit more artistic and unique.

Thanks for reading this, and the thought!
Also, anyone know a good place to buy waxed nylon thread in colors different than the three (black, dark brown, natural) at Tandy?
