The screw together rivets are called "Chicago Screws" and anyone at Tandy or Tandy takeover stores is familiar with the term. I have no idea where to buy leather working stuff now that Tandy has bailed out of our local area, but I ran into a full service Tandy takeover store in Harrisburg, PA a while ago and bought everything I thought I would ever need, including some way less than acceptable laces. Oh, well, they were cheap. I bought a lifetime supply of Chicago Screws so it was not a wasted adventure. I wouldn't sew one stitch as long as my friend, Mr. McCormack is still repairing cases. My labor is worth much more than fifty cents an hour.
