I have a sport kilt works kilt with strap enclosures. I love the kilt for every thing except the straps. The straps that are on there are leather but very thin and kinda short. When I wear the kilt the straps just kinda hang lazily and don't look crisp. I would like to by new leather to replace them so they would look better and function better but I don't know where I can get the leather part of the straps. I would prefer to go to a store as opposed to ordering them online. Because I want to make sure I buy the right leather for what I need, but anything is an option.

The other part is I don't know how to attach the straps to the front of the apron. How is it normally done and how can I do it? Are there any special tools I would need? Is it something someone that is a complete novice at sewing or anything like it can do?
