Source for leather straps, buckles, and rivets?

Sir Edward:

I'm sure we've brought this up before. But I'm thinking in terms of re-strapping armor. What is a good place to get straps with buckles, and the rivets for this?

Sir Wolf:
http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Leather-Belts-Leather-Straps/4523-190.aspx leather strips
http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=49 leather strips and straps
http://www.rjleahy.com/Store/rivets/trvr.htm rivets w solid shanks
http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Hardware/Rivets/Rivets.aspx tubular or smash rivets
http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/search/site+search+results.aspx?sectionpath=3&processor=content&p_keyword=buckles buckles, but i prefer more period styles found on revival or windrose or places like that.

whatcha doing?

Sir William:
I know Slayer uses Tandy whenever possible...depends on how authentic you're looking to get- they all look good to me.

Sir Edward:

Cool, I'll take a look at those. Thanks!

Nothing big yet. Right now I have a popped rivet on one of my pauldrons that I need to replace. But I figured I should look at options should I need to fix anything more substantial. We'll be doing armored combat next week in class, and I'll be taking it out to WMAW as well this fall for a class I signed up for. And it's just making me realize it's only a matter of time before I break a strap. :)

Sir Ulrich:
Yeah I'm gonna need some of these for my maille mitten projects, anyone know where i can get a leather sewing kit?
