New To Making Harnesses, Need Hardware Sources

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am a beginner here about to make some leather harnesses and suspenders, I need some advice regarding where to buy good quality hardware such as 15mm button snaps and durable rivets that are flat on both sides. The leather I will be working with is black oiled latigo.

Thank you!

Hello Sergio,

Give Ohio Travel Bag a shot. They have a large catalog and may have what you seek.

God Bless.

It is hard to tell without looking at the other side, but I would venture to say they are burr rivets. The one on the bottom looks like it has been "domed". This is done with a special setting tool from Bob Douglas through Vandy at Sheridan Leather Outfitters. There are about three sizes of these copper rivets, some available at Tandy, but Weaver is a really good source for them. There are also ones made of solid brass, also available at Weaver primarily. The brass ones are a bugger to set but they have a rounded head so you don't have to dome them. Also check with Kevin at Springfield Leather as he will have most of this too.

They look to me like their regular double caped rapid rivets. Springfield Leather has nickle over brass ones and the domer tool.
