The buttons on my retired lino (see avatar) were cast bronze/brass? buttons used to make the decorations on the "danglies" of a roman belt. The buttons could spin but were peened over washers on the inside.
My new leather spolas has tie-downs and buttons. The tie-downs are part of some saddlery/tack hardware. I will try to find the website again. I'll get back to you...
OK. The tie-downs are called post-style lacing dees. Mine are brass (plated?). They are the small ones. I may have got them from Zack White Leather or perhaps on ebay. You can search for a good source now that you know what to call them. If you can do metal work, you might want to make your own.
