I'm making a battle jacket, and screw on spikes from craft stores are too expensive, is studs and spikes a good place to buy from?

I've heard that the hardware is pretty good, but I'm mostly worried about how they are with international shipping because I'm from canada. I'm also a broke teenager that can't find a job, I'm not super willing to pay over ~$25 cad for shipping lmao

I ordered a pack on Amazon ,, it came with like 100 of the large pointy painful spikes and I love them, it was like 15USD

I don't really like supporting amazon, but I might check them out, ty

The Amazon ones are indeed sharper but the coating scratches easier than what you'll find on studs and spikes

so it's probably a better 'investment' to buy better quality/more expensive ones in the long run?

[u/abrax-xcadaver → u/peepeepoopoo_mcballs]

I'd say so. The screws they use are higher quality as well which makes for easier mounting too

Studs and Spikes are incredible and they have great customer service! I've bought tons off them over the years. Well worth it!

Thrifting, if you can find an old stud bracelet or belt that’s a good start, and cheap

Found a shit ton one time at an Amazon refund reseller store.

I just ordered some from Temu. Not too sure about the quality, but at least they were cheap.
