Elusive Things

[curgoth]

There are a number of things that I've been hunting for, but haven't been able to find anywhere:

• Laces for my 20 hole combat boots. I need laces at least 90" long.


• Leatherworking materials. I want to start to make little bits of leather fashion accessories; bracers, chokers and the like. I have no idea where to go to get the tools needed, or, more importantly, the leather to work with.


• Information on cold rivetting things. I can find info on how to rivet things, but they all seem to assume one is making one's own rievts. This is connected to the previous point.


• Something to hang my swords off of. This is limited severely by not being able to drill or nail anything into the walls here.


• A vest. That is, a semi-formal, relatively sedate vest with a watch pocket. They seem to have vanished from all the clothing shops. They were everywhere 5 years ago when I had no money...


• Cheap used suit jackets. I want to have a couple jackets for wearing when I feel like being slightly more pretentious, but nothing I'd have to worry about getting dirty or sweaty. Something I could wear clubbing if the mood hit.

I know where to find the leatherworking stuff (and the leather) in Boston. There must be an area in Toronto, as well. I know you can mail-order it...
