Cole Report post Posted November 7, 2012 i like the sam browne stud. what is a tab and slot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted November 7, 2012 You shape one end like an arrow, and on the other end you make a slit that's about 2/3 the width of the arrow. To fasten, fold/wiggle/shove the dart through the slot and it will hold. Think of the way a donut box closes. The advantages of this method is that there's no additional hardware, and it lays flat. Wrap the slot end first, then bring the tab around and over...then push the tab down through the slot. Both 'ends' will be under the bracelet. Disadvantage is that it needs a little more leather (1.5-2 inches) and that it has very little fashion appeal....unless you like the rugged look.
