A company called Dritz also makes replacement eyelets. Fabric stores carry them, also ebay. The pliers to set the eyelets is also available. It is about $30 new at a fabric store but can be found used on ebay for $3-$4. One thing I've found is to be careful of the size eyelet, for example, there are 1/8", 5/32", 3/16" and so on. Best to bring the glove with you to match to the right one or get a variety back. I have used a propane torch to burn off the coating on the eyelet and there are antiquing chemicals available to color the eyelet. Sometimes car battery acid works in a pinch.
