We've been making a bunch of leather bracelets, cuffs, vambraces...and we're having problems finding the best, toughest, longest-lasting snaps and rivets. We've used Jiffy Rivets and Ligne 22, 24 from Ohio Travel Bag. Durable dots too... We're open to all suggestions and ready to experiment as what we've found so far just don't seem to hold up as well as we'd like.

What have you all found to be quality that will stand up to use? Help?! Thanks for making the time to share; we could really use the advice.

I don't think I have the experience necessary to help at all, but maybe you could explain how the snaps and rivets are failing and someone else might have a suggestion for a more durable alternative. . .? The DOT brand fasteners are some of the highest-quality snaps I know of, so I'm curious how they are failing.

We've had several failures where after a few cycles of wear the snaps won't hold anymore. The Jiffy Rivets have a high failure rate in that the caps don't hold and don't have much structural integrity.

shirley... only use Dot Snaps line 24. they do come in S S for more strength.
