parachute clasp for a messenger bag

| Posted in Equipment and Supplies on
Hi!
I’m making a messenger bag, but I’m having a hard time finding a parachute clasp large enough for the strap I want (2.5 inches). I found a 2″ one at Joann’s, but I tried it and the strap looks a little small for the bag.
Does anyone know where to find a large selection of them? Or another name for them (they’re the plastic clasps you squeeze to open and you can pull on the strap to adjust the length – I didn’t know they were called parachute clasps until I got to Joann’s yesterday) that I can search under?
Thanks!

I have found some great purse hardware at the Army Navy Surplus stores. Also you might try Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Mary
Thank you, I hadn't thought of the Army Navy store. Good idea!
HI ther,
I used to make these bags in college and found all my hardware at REI. It's been a REALLY long time, but it might be worth checking.
Good luck!
