That’s the one, it’s those rivet types on the arm join

Try looking up something like Tubular or Semi-Tubular, but the problem is that you may need a special tool to close them.

It's possible to get very long eyelets for thick leather work; I've no sense of scale on the item required, but I wonder if a semi-tubular could be closed with a rivet snap for a shoe eyelet.

Good luck and welcome to a friendly forum

Do you have access to a lathe?
