Default Leather Jacket Snaps

OK - very technical problem here. I have lost a snap on my leather vest and I am having an issue finding the snap and tool needed to insert a new snap. Does anyone know of a place out there that has the snaps and tool? Thanks

As suggested by others, Tandy or JoAnn Fabrics.

Note: the anvil usually comes in either metal or plastic...try to find the metal one. I used the plastic model first time and broke it with a single use.
