I need good clasps.

Im having trouble finding what I'm looking for. I need clasps with a low profile, sort of like this: 

 

But... not a piece of junk. Ive bought a bunch and they're all cast/powdered metal. They deform easily and break. I really don't need them to swivel either. Snap hooks like whats found on leashes are plenty strong, but I want something that looks nicer, for a higher end look for bags.

 

Anyone have favorites or good sources? I feel like my stuff is pretty high quality, I want my hardware to match!

Repost your photo please, can't see it.

 

in the meantime, Ohio Travel Bag, OTB, has tons of hardware, check them out.  I get a lot of my hardware from Springfield Leather Company, nice steff there.  I've also heard that The Buckle Guy is a good source for quality hardware.

My primary source for hardware is The Buckle Guy, they design and make their hardware in their fully owned facilities.  I do also source some from Ohio Travel Bag and on the rare occasion Springfield Leather.

Lets see if that one works. I really like that style, but they're not strong and deform easily. Ill go for the buckle guy stuff, seems like you guys have had good luck with them.
