A few suggestions for this:
- Buckles are probably required as well.
- A side of leather scraps from "the real leather people" at Pennsic makes
  for good strap leather.  The barony may wish to consider picking one of
  these up.  If I'm less of an airhead than I expect to be at Pennsic (it's
  been a rather busy few weeks), I may pick up one specifically to donate.
- Keep the budget for the copper rivets, but consider getting a collective
  order through Jay-Cee rivets.  I need to replenish my stock, as I suspect
  do others.  S&H is where a chunk of the cost goes, but that amortizes
  nicely if someone simply can't manage to drive out there.

- Perhaps not for discussing in this thread, but perhaps an "armor first aid
  kit" for practice.  Many people carry their own, but occasionally forget
  things.  Make this one a "you use it, you owe the barony a few bucks". :-)
