Mild Steel Rivets: Alluring Dome Head Options

Description

Authentic Mild Steel Rivets for Leather & Armor Work: These mild steel rivets were once used on medieval armor, sword belts, bags. With a smooth dome (mushroom) head, they provide structural strength and a historically correct appearance for functional gear.

Crafted from solid mild steel rivets with a natural finish, these rivets are strong enough to handle stress and remain workable for leather and metal. Their rounded shape sits cleanly against the surface, reducing snagging and giving a neat finish.

Dome Head Design with Historical Accuracy: The rounded dome head mirrors medieval armor rivets seen on plate armor, shields, and leather. This makes them ideal for restoration work, or historically inspired projects.

These round head rivets are suitable for belts, bags, armor plates, bracers, greaves, and other gear for a secure, long-lasting fastening solution.

Size Options:

Each rivet length is designed to match different material thicknesses, making these leather working rivets extremely versatile:

10 mm Rivets
Ideal for fine leather craft and light fastening. Perfect for pouches, dagger holders, quivers, decorative edging, and garment details where a low-profile finish is preferred.
13 mm Rivets
A balanced, all-purpose size suited for belts, bag straps, bracers, greaves, and mid-weight armor repairs. Excellent for most everyday leather and gear projects.
16 mm Rivets
Designed for heavy-duty applications such as thick leather straps, layered materials, shield reinforcements, and overlapping armor plates where maximum holding strength is required.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Store these dome rivets in a dry place to prevent rust
Wipe with a lightly oiled cloth after handling

Note: Mild steel rivets naturally develop a patina over time, enhancing their authentic, aged appearance. If a brighter finish is needed, polish occasionally. Minor surface variations are normal.
