Members Sjohnsone Posted January 13, 2014 Members Report Posted January 13, 2014 I'm starting to see more and more leatherworkers with customized snaps (makers mark image on them). I think it's awesome looking and I'd like to do it as well. I tried searching for ages on the internet and everyone I ask gives me the cold shoulder. Anyone have any leads? Thanks in advance, Seth Quote

Members SteelcityK9Cop Posted January 16, 2014 Members Report Posted January 16, 2014 Yea...everyone I have ever asked about custom snaps, buckles..ect won't give u the time of day. It's a shame more US companies are not making their own hardware and offering these services...heck of a potential money maker. Quote
Members Sjohnsone Posted January 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Steel - I asked like 3 small companies where they get the supplies and I think it's one of two things and perhaps both. They A: don't want you to have them or B: don't want you to know they dropped 3 grand to get them. I contacted the "guy" at "The Buckle Guy" and in order to get them you have to spend about 1700 bucks for 10,000 snaps. I don't even know what i'd do with that many snaps, never mind the fact I want line 20's and line 24's. I suppose i could always weigh one and see what that is x 10,000 in scrap value in the event I couldn't use TWENTY THOUSAND SNAPS. Edited January 22, 2014 by Sjohnsone Quote
Members SteelcityK9Cop Posted January 22, 2014 Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 Same with buckles... have seen a few buckles on here with engraved logos.... "those are beautiful, where did you find that supplier , zzzzzzzzzzz. lol Quote
Members KandB Posted May 9, 2014 Members Report Posted May 9, 2014 I'm also trying to find where to get these since I see small leatherwork operations that have their own custom hardware. Quote
