At one end, the shoulder straps are attached to the waistband with two metal studs, the other end is attached to the waistband with a metal buckle. The waistband has a metal buckle with partially scalloped sides and five buckle holes. The left and right sides of the waistband are decorated with a small leather loop attached with metal studs. However, both these loops have snapped. The leather is twisted and worn in places.
