Standard Rivet Company Closes After 136 Years — Industry Reflections & Discussion

[BlingintheRing]

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.

Do you sell the clincher links that Standard Rivet carried, or know where they might be found? Found them on your website!  Will place an order, thanks.
