A paint stick through the loops is said to work, never tried that.
I used the sandwich bag instead of the wrap but, same premise. Did not think to do the bands or paint stick idea, thanks!

Understood but, this thing is tight. It is difficult to unholster, not something I want to fight with if I need to use it.

The sweat sock is not too thick and over stretch the leather?
