    So do you buy webbing and have the loop sewn on by your tailor or cobbler?

    How do you order two 2' straps? I only see how to order one 4' strap. I don't think I want to deal with trying to cut it.

    No. I specifically bought these because I don't like the loops.

    Yeah, you're right.

    You can order this instead:

    Order 2' pieces in 2 different colors.

    Forgive my ignorance, but can you clear this up for me? The straps I have are the cheap big box store kind, with the loop that the straight ends slides through. They are terrible, and I want different ones. So I was looking at the blue Muscledriver straps, which still have a "loop" for your hand to go through, but the loop is fixed so they can't tighten like the cheap ones I have.

    Do you just use a straight piece of webbing with no loop for your hand to go through? How does that work? Google is unhelpful on this because all the results pertain to the shitty straps.

    Thanks.
