Members Voyageurs Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Hey folks, I am looking to buy US made parts for my products such as buckles, rivets, and such. Don't want foreign made so looking for a decent source of US, Canadian and EU made products. What's out there? Quote
Members DJole Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Are you looking for historical buckles rather than modern buckles? Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>
Members jcuk Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Not US but UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUUjJibN4xw If interested, although not cheap, shipping maybe a cost issue too, i use some of their saddlery fitting and belt buckles they are nice. https://www.abbeyengland.com/buckles-fittings/buckles/bridle-headcollar-buckles.html https://www.abbeyengland.com/buckles-fittings/belt-buckles.html ignore their standard range and if interested email to check which buckles are made in their foundry. And i do use their standard range for repairs on things that were cheap in the first place not going to waste good hard ware on cheaply made items, and to be fair the standard range is not bad at all, just don't know where it has been sourced. Also have a look all and their buckles and hardware email them to satisfy yourself where they are being made. Also have a look at C.S. Osborne theirs tools are made in the US maybe theirs rivets and fitting are too. Hope this helps JCUK Edited October 2, 2020 by jcuk Quote
Members viasacra89 Posted October 4, 2020 Members Report Posted October 4, 2020 As far as made in the US, i can only think of Buckleguy. Quote
Members Matt S Posted October 4, 2020 Members Report Posted October 4, 2020 As well as Abbey another source for UK-made is F. Martin & Son. Good quality and fair pricing. https://www.fmartinandson.co.uk/our-range/ Quote

CFM Hardrada Posted October 5, 2020 CFM Report Posted October 5, 2020 Rocky Mountain Leather Supply sells European- and Japanese-made buckles, if that's any help. That's where I get my buckles for my belts. They're reasonably priced. https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/buckles-hardware Quote

Millersburg, Oh 44654 They are Amish, so call and ask for their catalog between said time. They make a good share of their hardware and have an endless supply of hardware molds.

Members Viles Posted December 27, 2020 Members Report Posted December 27, 2020 There was a company Bufflao Brothers or something simliar in Albuquerque that I use to buy logo snaps from. I can't find them on the internet right now. Quote
