Is this repairable?! UPDATE

I have had this Selle San Marco Regal seat for a little over a year and recently one of the rivets broke off while i was riding. I have looked endlessly on the internet for a replacement one but have had no luck. I emailed Selle directly and still have not heard back.. I was thinking about checking out a local shoe / leather repair shop and asking them.. Any tips would be very appreciated as i want to get this back on the Trek.. I also don't mind replacing them all (if i can't find an original rivet) as long as they fit and look good with the original saddle.



UPDATE***

Just in case others want to know. I went to very reputable local shoe and leather worker to show him the saddle and the broken rivets. He took a look and said it would be a very easy fix but that the rivets look custom made and that he had nothing that large.. So he gave me his card and wrote down an address to the biggest leather and button supplier in Seattle.. I made my way there and showed the owner my saddle.. The place was huge and stocked with everything you could think of.. He however said that those were definitely custom rivets and that in his career he had not seen anything like that come through his warehouse.

So unfortunately im stuck with a broken rivet.. An email was sent to Selle inquiring about a replacement rivet... No word back..
