zoom- yes, I have done a LOT of research. I have like a three page word document full of info on different suppliers for my hardware. Right now, this hardware isnt all that great, most of it is harvested off of collars I bought at wal-mart and the nylon webbing was either bought in the wal-mart craft department or at Hobby Lobby. same witht he fabric and ribbons, wal-mart or hobby lobby. The plastic buckles are from wal-mart or hobby lobby. But I will be going over my research with my business mentor and making orders soon.
I am especially excited about these engraved metal side release buckles!
