Members macmandr197 Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Does anyone know of a site that has all manner of hard-ware? D-rings, buttons, snaps, zippers, hoops, etc, etc, etc! I'd like to avoid ebay because the results are sporadic.. Quote
Members JREESER1 Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 ohiotravelbag.com I have used them several times. Always prompt, have a multitude of hardware and I always find stuff I didn't even know I needed! Their on-line catalog can be a little daunting, but like I said you can peruse thousands of neat possibilities, for hours. jr Quote
Members Calait Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 This far I am using Tandy Leather and Hobby Lobby. Yes I have reached out online to find material. Quote
Thor Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 There are several members from Canada. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to let them know where you are from and you may get better feedback. Besides that, contact Weaver and ask for their catalog. They are pretty good to work with. http://www.weaverleather.com/supply/ourproducts/requestacatalog.aspx Further to this there are several suppliers and manufacturers on here as well. Quote
Members George3 Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 I used ohio travel bag they are easy to work with and prompt. I use Weaver Leather Supply now, I like their quality, selection and service. Quote
Members Calait Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Thor, thanks location unless someone wants to travel differently is a consideration. Unless living on the border and willing to pay the import cost I would not come into the US. Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 If you happen to be on the west coast, Lonsdale leather in vancouver has had lots of quality hardware for years, but a very basic 20 year old web page... It has just been sold and has a new owner, so it may get better or worse, we will see. It is right near olympic village. Also in Vancouver is Dressew. It is a fabric sewing store with millions of buttons, zippers, and all that other stuff, just a little lacking in the heavier duty end..No rivets and heavy d rings. Again, no website to speak of.

Members macmandr197 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks for the help guys! I'm over in Ontario so unfortunately I won't be heading out to Vancouver But I'll definitely check some of those shops out! Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Tent/awning and boat top supply, they have alot of useful stuff. http://www.outdoorfabricscanada.com/ Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."

Thor Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Where abouts in Ontario. There are quite a few people from that area on here and I know the place quite well, plus I might just be able to point you into the right direction. Calait, import isn't an issue. Pretty much everything that is made within North America is import tax exempt as due to the NAFTA. If close to the border not even shipping is a problem as there are services for free delivery within the states and hold for pick up. Some things actually work in Canada. Quote
