we have a leather shop in town. She does my leather work from saddles and harness to holsters and knife cases. she has charged me from $5- $8 for simple repairs on knife sheaths, a new retainer strap was $5, a new belt holder strap was $5. riviting is cheaper(fast and less labor, sewing could mean taking out stitching and re stitching. Some older leather is so dry it breaks during repair. I always rub a good leather preserver into the leather before I do anything.
