I went through a vendor, Dantes? Maybe I was lucky, black '69 buckets, had them almost right away. Get a real pair of hog ring pliers and hog rings. Any farm supply store should have them.

Hog rings do vary somewhat.
I had a couple bags from Amazon that had a slight kink in the top. They were easier to crush and came out more round when going around a heavy wire on the frame.
 
Did mine front buckets about 1.5 years ago. Ordered from legendary, took 8-9 months to get them. I also ordered foam and the installation kit. I watched the legendary videos and a couple YouTube also. I took lots of pictures while taking them apart. A couple things: I switched the carpet to black and had some trouble getting some for the bottom of the doors because I didn’t order everything together. When I got the seat foam there was a bunch of scrap foam with them. Don’t throw it away. I should have put some extra in the edge of the insert area to fill it out more. They are fine the way they are but could have been just a little bit better. But my rear seats and door cards are all original and look decent. It’s just a driver. Oh and if you need seat backs order them at the same time as the cover too.

They look great.

Is the roundness better or doesn't matter?
 
Doesn't matter. Real hog rings are a little larger in diameter. For the cost and convenience for them at a farm store, hands down the way to go for me. They do have different sizes, think that I used the red box. One hundred rings for $4 or so. The pliers are inexpensive too.
