I've started working on a replica of the baby Yoda/Grogu/biker scout bag from The Mandalorian, season 1 ep 8.
From another RPF thread, I learned that the bag and strap were made from a large British P37 bag, and a XL 4171 Rothco belt. The color of my bag is lighter than I was expecting, and it is definitely lighter than the belt. I may dye it.
Its hard to see the fasteners that were used, but they appear to have flat, smooth heads, with a chamfer around the edge. I decided to use chicago screws. The ones I bought have a 9.5mm dia head, and can grip 5mm of material.
The belt buckle isn't used, so I started by removing the stitching and rivets that hold it on.
I put the chicago screws through the holes left by the rivets to complete this end of the strap.
The other end of the strap requires additional holes. I folded the end of the belt to match the screenshot, then stuck a marker through the appropriate grommet to mark the location of the new holes. I used a leather punch to cut the holes (not the best tool for the job, but it worked).
Chicago screws are put through the grommets and the new holes, completing the strap.
