Durable Mild Steel Dome Rivets for Leatherwork, Armor Repair & Gear Making

Description

For centuries, Dome rivets have been the unsung heroes of craftsmanship — quietly holding together everything from medieval plate armor to the straps on a knight’s sword belt. If you’ve ever admired the clean, domed fastenings on historical gear, chances are you’ve seen a rivet just like this.

Our mild steel dome rivets continue that proud tradition, giving you the strength, durability, and authentic look that both functional gear and historical reproductions demand.

Authentic Historical Style – The smooth, rounded dome head mirrors rivets used on armor, belts, bags, and tack for centuries.
Strong & Reliable – Forged from mild steel, they hold firm under stress while resisting wear.
Versatile Sizes – Choose the perfect length for your project, from delicate leather fittings to heavy armor plates.
Seamless Finish – The dome shape sits flush, preventing snagging and adding a clean, professional look.

• 10mm Rivet – Perfect for fine leathercraft and light fastening. Great for attaching straps on pouches, dagger holders, quivers, and decorative edging on garments or shields. Their shorter length means a low-profile finish — ideal for pieces where appearance matters as much as strength.
• 13mm Rivet – The all-rounder. Excellent for bag straps, belt fittings, bracers, greaves, and archery gear. Provides enough length for most everyday leatherwork while still sitting neatly against the surface. Also perfect for repairing historical tack and mid-weight armor pieces.
• 16mm Rivet – The heavy hitter. Designed for thick leather straps, multi-layer fastening, shield reinforcements, and overlapping armor plates. Ideal when you need maximum holding strength and a rivet that can take the strain without shifting.

Care Instructions

• Store in a dry place to avoid rust.
• Wipe with an oily cloth after use for protection.
• For outdoor gear, apply wax or a clear coat for added resistance.

Note

Mild steel of the Dome Rivets develops a natural patina over time, giving it an authentic, aged look. If you prefer to maintain a bright finish, polish occasionally.
