Notions: 

Matching thread

Leather strap – 2.5cm x 98cm (View 1)

Webbing – 2.5cm x 98cm (view 2)

Rivets – 4 x 9mm

Loops – 2 x 2.5cm

Zip – 1 x 30cm

When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement.

For the loops we have two options, these or these. The 1″ ones offer a snug fit and the 1.25″ ones allow for a bit more movement, it’s a personal preference.
