Wholesale Rivets for Jeans, Jackets and Bags – 10 Models, with Logo

Metal rivets from 6 to 12.5 mm for jeans, jackets, belts, bags and leather goods – classic, with visible head, engraved, with stone and stainless steel, with logo, direct from the manufacturer.

Rivets – a strong and decorative detail

Rivets are small metal fasteners placed at the most stressed points of a product – the corners of jeans pockets, the end of the fly, the belt loops, jacket collars, bag straps. They stop the seam from tearing under tension and at the same time are a recognisable decorative element. Polkom, a manufacturer of metal accessories, offers rivets wholesale in 10 models and sizes from 6 to 12.5 mm – for denim, workwear, jackets, belts, bags, footwear, leather goods and even knitwear.

How a rivet is built

Most rivets consist of two parts: a cap (the visible part) and a metal base with a pin that passes through the material from the inside and is set into the cap with a press. The cap can be solid, open with a visible head, engraved, with a logo or with a decorative stone. Metal bases are also available separately, so you can combine caps and bases according to the material.

Classic rivets (RV-01, RV-02, RV-03)

The rivet with a solid cap is the jeans classic. The model with a visible head shows the centre of the pin and gives an industrial look, while the engraved version adds a fine pattern to the surface for premium denim and leather goods.

Rivets for special positions (RV-04, RV-05, RV-06)

The belt rivet has a tubular pin and securely joins leather to leather or webbing to webbing. The collar cap rivet reinforces and decorates the jacket collar. The reinforced rivet is designed for heavy denim, leather and multi-layer areas.

Stainless and decorative rivets (RV-07, RV-08)

The stainless steel rivet is for outdoor, marine and workwear. The rivet with a decorative stone adds sparkle to fashion jeans, jackets, bags and footwear.

Mini rivets and bases (RV-09, RV-10)

The miniature rivet is designed for socks, knitwear and children's products, where it needs to be low and comfortable. The metal bases are the back part that ensures a tight, even fixing.

Finishes and colours

  • copper and antique copper – the classic on blue jeans
  • brass and antique brass – a warm, vintage look
  • nickel and black nickel – for light and black denim
  • gold and gunmetal – for fashion collections
  • aged effects matched to the fabric wash

Choose rivets in the same finish as the jeans buttons, eyelets and snap buttons, so that the metal accessories look like one set.

Custom rivets with logo

The cap is small but a highly visible place for the brand. We make rivets with an embossed, debossed or engraved logo and lettering around the rim, in a finish of your choice. Before the production run you receive a sample to test on your fabric and machine. More about samples in Services.

Fitting

Rivets are set with a hand press, a lever press or motorised and automatic machines, with a die for the relevant cap. The pin must be long enough to pass through all layers and set reliably, but not so long that it bends.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a rivet and a snap button?
Both are fitted with a press, but they have different functions. A snap button fastens – its two parts snap together and separate many times. A rivet is a fixed fastener that only reinforces the seam and decorates the product. On jeans and jackets the two are often in the same finish.
What rivet size should I choose?
We offer rivets with caps from 6 to 12.5 mm. Smaller sizes are used for jeans pockets, shirts and knitwear, larger ones for jackets, belts and bags. The pin length is chosen according to the number of layers and the thickness of the material. Send us a sample and we will suggest a suitable model.
Are the rivets suitable for stone-washed jeans?
Copper and brass rivets withstand washing and are often used on distressed denim. Stone and enzyme washes can change the finish, which is sometimes the desired effect. That is why we recommend testing samples together with the fabric and the washing process before the production run.
Do you make rivets with a logo?
Yes. We make rivets with an embossed, debossed or engraved logo and lettering around the rim of the cap, in a finish of your choice. We need a vector file, the desired diameter and the finish. Once the sample is approved, series production starts.
