Mulesaw Report post Posted February 12, 2021 Laederiet.dk also has a lot of hardware, I have bought from them several times and I like them. They are not super cheap, but the service is great. It also depends on what type of hardware you are looking for? Is it for saddles or belts or bags etc? I haven't bought anything from Pethardware or Abbey, so I don't know about those.

Mulesaw Report post Posted February 13, 2021 I think that Laederiet has got all you'll need. They haven't marked out stuff for BDSM, but I guess it is mainly D-rings and carabiners etc. They also have lockable buckles. https://www.laederiet.dk/produkter/98-seletoejsspaender/4142-dbrullespaende/ That could probably be used too. I have rarely looked for hardware for bags since I do mostly equine stuff, but they have a ton of different hardware. May I suggest that your order their physical catalogue, somehow I find it easier to browse through a paper catalogue compared to do it on the computer. It is free of charge if you order anything from them, you can also pick it up if you visit their store, but right now due to the pandemic, the store is closed for visitors.

chrisash Report post Posted February 22, 2021 Should leathercraftpattern.com be allowed to basically advertise on the forum when the sell copy's of the leading bag companies patterns, few members would like to see flagrant copyright abuse of their own designs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abbey England hardware is good stuff, a lot of it made in their own foundry in Walsall. Is there something specific about them that makes you doubt their quality?

Klara Report post Posted April 13, 2021 I have ordered twice from Pethardware so far and have had no issues with their quality (already preparing my next order). Obviously, I haven't done a chemical analysis to check whether their stainless steel is exactly that, but the pieces look good and feel good. The only drawback is that they clearly aim at larger-scale producers, often you need to buy 10 pieces. Either because it's the minimum amount, or because the unit price drops dramatically compared to 5 pieces. I have not yet bought leather from them but seen that it's considerably cheaper than from my French shop. A site where you can buy individual rings, snaps etc. is Paracord.eu Their choice of serious saddlery hardware is smaller, but they have more beads. And a wonderful selection of rope. Leather is an afterthought, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
