{"title":"Rivets","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRivets – a strong detail with history\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRivets are small metal fasteners placed at the most stressed points of a garment – pocket corners, the end of the fly, the base of belt loops. They stop the seam from tearing under strain and are both a functional and a decorative element. On jeans, rivets are an essential part of the classic look, while on workwear and bags they extend the product's life. Polkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, offers wholesale rivets to makers of denim, workwear, bags and small leather goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow rivets are made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic jeans rivet consists of two parts: a cap (the face) and a base with a pin that passes through the fabric from the inside and is clinched into the cap with a press. The cap can be smooth, embossed, branded or open, showing the pin. There are also double-cap rivets with a cap on both sides, used on bags, belts and straps where both faces of the material are visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes and materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cap diameter of jeans rivets is usually around 6–10 mm, and the pin length is chosen according to the number of layers and fabric thickness. Rivets are most often made of copper, brass or aluminium. Copper and brass do not rust and develop a natural patina over time that brings out the character of denim products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinishes and colours\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCopper and antique copper – the classic for blue jeans\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrass and antique brass – a warm, vintage look\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNickel and matt nickel – for light and black denim\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGunmetal and black – for modern and dark collections\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAged effects adapted to the fabric's wash process\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is best for rivets to share the finish of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/snap-buttons\"\u003esnap buttons\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/eyelets\"\u003eeyelets\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/metal-plates\"\u003emetal logo plates\u003c\/a\u003e so the product's hardware looks like a unified set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustom rivets with your logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rivet cap is a small but highly visible spot for the brand name or mark. We produce rivets with an embossed, debossed or engraved logo, lettering around the edge or a specific texture. Before production we prepare a sample you can test on your fabric and machine. Find out more about sampling and engraving on our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/services\"\u003eServices\u003c\/a\u003e page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRivets and fitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRivets are fitted with a manual or pneumatic press and a die that matches the cap shape. The pin must be long enough to pass through all layers and clinch securely, but not so long that it bends. In volume production we recommend testing the sample on the real fabric and with the real press settings before running the whole batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere rivets are used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJeans, denim skirts and jackets\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWorkwear and dungarees\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBags, backpacks and cases\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLeather and textile belts and straps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLeather footwear and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to order rivets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolkom combines large stock of standard models with production to your design, fast samples and delivery across the EU.
