well, my mother is kindly putting a new lining in my cloak. i've decided to look for new clasps for it. i have some victorian clasps (various styles) that i've used, but some of them need resoldering and some i don't want to use in very cold temperatures (early plastic/silver).

so, it's off to ebay i go. if anyone knows of any other commercial sites selling clasps, feel free to point 'em out. i can't use anything that's lightweight. i use metal clasps, fairly heavy and sizeable. small (1", 2") pewter/silver clasps do *not* hold up to the stress of a heavy wool, lined cloak.

I have a heavy lined wool cloak also. I used cast bronze clasps from www.dragonspawn.com (5255 Celtic Spiral Dragon, as it happens). I love them.
