Leather rivets

Can anyone tell me where to buy solid brass leather " press studs" and rivets, I,ve tried ordering several types of the internet described as sturdy, solid etc, but they are always flimsy and weak. I dont want to waste anymore money on rubbish 

Thanks

Weaver leather. . . in Ohio . . . their handbag section may have them too.

I've used Tandy's brass rivets for 20+ yrs . . .  never had any major problem with them.

Not meaning to be disrespectful . . . but setting technique is the key to good rivet use.

May God bless,

Hi everyone I'm new here and new to leatherwork, I'm learning to make knife sheafs. I keep ordering brass rivets and press studs that are flimsy and weak, although described as sturdy and solid. Can anyone advise me where to buy good quality ,heavy duty rivets and studs.

Thanks

@drida I merged your 2 threads. This seems to be the right forum.

Yes you can get all kinds of studs at blinginthering.com the metal thickness is at 0.50 mm thick. If you need extra strong, then purchase the stainless steel ones. https://blinginthering.com/collections/decorative-metal-spots
