leather straps

Sign in to disble this ad
Once you have adjusted the strap to the desired lenght, do you pass the tail part throu all the remaning openings (under/over/under/...) or just throu the last one ?
i know... it's a dumb question...

Either way!

If you just pass it through the last slit, it's easier to remove and readjust. However, it does not lay as flat and can get uncomfortable.

If you thread through all the slits, it's way more secure and won't twist. Readjusting it is a pain though, so make sure you are comfy before you do that

I just ran it through the last one.

OK, so if you've got a strap with two buttonholes, on the tail, and end up with about six inches of extra tail because you're using the one closest to the main part of the strap, what do you do with that? 'cause it's not long enough to just tuck it back through the last slit.

All of them just to keep it tidy.

I like the tidy look also. I prefer to pass it through all the slots.

I have mine going out from the third slit from top, and skip a slip and in another then up then in the last slit..if that makes sense. I like the leather and suede straps better cause it doesn't slide down your shoulder like them stupid nylon ones does..
