Leather Cloak Clasp - Blue with Metal Buttons

As a member of the SCA, a renaissance/medieval recration society, I was really tired of the few flimsy cloak clasps, or frogs, that you could find at the local fabric stores. They just didn't hold up to the weight of a heavy woolen cloak. And I didn't want to wait until an event to hopefully find a clasp. But even then, many of the clasps were designed to be pinned on your cloak, and repeated pinnings eventually ruin your fabric. Additionally, if you make your own leather clasp you have to have some specialized leather tools or you will break alot of needles and risk injury to your hand and your patience. I came up with the idea to make a clasp that anyone with normal sewing skills and tools could easily use and be proud of wearing.
