Black Rivets Double Cap Rivets

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if you guys know where I could find Black double cap rivets. At a number of leather suppliers you can find a steel rivet http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/1373-13.aspx that isn't very dark and typically the black finish is quickly rubbed off.

I've seen them before on leather goods but have no idea where to find them. They almost look like they had a black oxide finish or black phosphate.

Thanks!

Page two of the catalog. These are brass rivets with black coating made in Belgium. Good quality product, I use these all the time. Let about 1/4 of the rivet protrude above the leather, if the cap sets lopsided, the rivet is too long, too short and they don't hold well. The rivet/cap should compress the leather just a little. Use a concave anvil and setter or they will dimple.
