    Re: How to un-curl leather kilt straps?

    Have you tried eating more? There'd be a whole lot less strap to worry about

    Re: How to un-curl leather kilt straps?

    In addtion to what Lyile1 said, Use steam. When the leather ends on my radio strap start to curl, I hold them in the position I want them, and hold it over a tea kettle or use the steam from your iron. BTW you might want to hold it with pilers so you don't cook your fingers. Hope this helps

    Well, in that case, keep the unused holes - each of them a badge of honor ;-)
