It requires a copper rivet and burr, size #12 by 1/2" long, and a special tool to set it. I have the stuff in my workshop for leather crafting (never needed it for jeans). It looks like this:just lost a rivet on a pair of jeans after a few days of wear, what do you usually do if one falls off?
Thanks! I'm in northern europe, but i'll try and pick up the tool.

If you're near Chicago, I'll do it for you. It's like a three-minute job. Otherwise, you'll have to find someone local. I think your best bet is someone who works with leather, although some tailors might have this tool, especially ones who work on denim.
Your other option is to get the parts and the tool and do it yourself. Here is the copper rivet and burr; again, it's size #12 by 1/2" long:

And here is the tool to set it:

I think it's fun to have the stuff to do it yourself, but I'm kind of weird! Then you can fix all your friends' jeans and leather goods!
Hah, I just realized this is the same rivet/burr RRL uses to attach buckleback straps to jeans, like those olive ones we were talking about the other day! Dang, you can just grind them off, move the straps down, and attach new rivets!It requires a copper rivet and burr, size #12 by 1/2" long, and a special tool to set it.

Good question. Even I don't have any OEM branded ones. I have a feeling it would be easier to steal the Mona Lisa than to get RL to send you any of those!Do you know if it's possible to get a hold of the original rrl rivets?
But that's way too easy!These were new and only worn a few times? I wouldn't be happy and would look for an exchange from where I bought them.
Now you're left with holes where the old rivets were.Dang, you can just grind them off, move the straps down, and attach new rivets!![]()
No. I had a rivet pop off a pair because it wasn't set properly and the prong was bent. I had them several years before it popped off in the washing machine. I tried through a number of avenues to reach a supplier to get an RRL-branded replacement and hit a wall each time. They told it wasn't possible. The good news is that -- even with the jeans being several years old -- they replaced them with a new pair. Lost my patina and wear but it was better than having a hole where the rivet was.Thanks!

Yeah, might try to ask for a new pair. It's just that is that I've washed them once already.

lol who is running this website? It is bad.On Dec. 15, a bunch of new items showed up on the website, but many of them disappeared a day or two later, and they've never come back to the main site. You can still find them by going to ralphlauren.com>search>RRL>New Arrivals. But it seems to me they should add the items to the main RRL website. Anyway, among other items, there are some killer shirts. Just thought I'd post this in case some of you don't know about them.

Two years ago. And I had owned those jeans for five years, if not longer. I wouldn't hesitate to ask for a replacement pair -- that's a product defect.Yeah, might try to ask for a new pair. It's just that is that I've washed them once already. How long ago was this?
Right, you'd have to run a few hand stitches around the rims of the holes to prevent unraveling.Now you're left with holes where the old rivets were.
