Lorica Squamata closing method

[damianlz]

Hi All. Earlier this year I got a rather lovely lorica Squamata from Suhels trading post made up, it really is a great piece of kit however I am having trouble with the method of closure. Right now a small threat loops through punched holes in the surrounding leather, but this is quickly being torn and worn out and is difficult to manage. I was wondering if anyone had other methods of closing the squamata, or what you personally use? I'm thinking of punching a few holes for leather straps and making a strap and buckle method of closure but would love to know how others manage their kit.
