Members friendlytokoloshe Posted February 23, 2014 Members Report Posted February 23, 2014 Hi all - posted this request on another leather forum without luck so thought I'd try here. I'd like to attach straps to a satchel using what I'll call for now an 'H-fitting' instead of, say, a D-ring + trigger hook (see accompanying 3D sketch of imagined fitting). The idea would be to attach leather to around each of the parallel ends of the fitting, much like one would attach a strap to a buckle. Does anyone know if there is a standard name for fittings like this, if they are even mass manufactured? I've looked pretty hard, but can't seem to find any similar things sold anywhere. Any help would be appreciated! Quote
electrathon Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I have no idea where to find it but I do like the design. Aaron Quote

Great spot - thanks very much! Now all I need to do is figure out how big it is and figure out a way to get AbbeyEngland to sell it to me (it seems like they don't sell to private people)! Quote
