Or get a leather punch and a couple zip ties and save $30 + shipping. In fact, I was kinda disappointed to learn they use zip ties. I'd probably at least thread a shoelace or similar through there so It can be adjusted without having to cut off the old zip tie and put on a new one.
Obviously a zip tie will work, but I'd be a bit embarassed to send out my high quality product with a zip tie "fix". I'd at least use a leather lace to make it look a bit more in tune with the product and the price being paid.
But that's just me.
