The strapping can be cut to remove excess with a pair of sharp scissors. We like an “English Point” at the end of our strapping for a clean look. Be sure to leave the strapping long enough to extend at least ¾ inch beyond the keeper.

If a hole is needed where it is not provided, a simple leather punch will do the job. Take care to center the hole on the strapping, and make a hole just large enough for the buckle tongue to slide through tightly. We would also recommend you measure between the holes for a professional looking appearance.

Please measure twice, cut once as the old saying goes.
