I appreciate the response but something must be missing from the strap. I have one of the buttons, and one leather tab looking deal with a button mounted in it. (See drawing). Problem is, the button mounted in the leather is far too short to pass through two layers of leather. Plus the leather tab has a slit in it that is obviously for the strap to pass through, and it has a leather loop on it too, for the strap to pass through. I have racked my brain and I can't figure it out.
