Thanks for the answer, but I'm sorry, I don't know what a Philadelphia lay is either. With the risk of sounding like a dunce, what's a flat head slot?

Do you mean that the chicago screw is sort of like two regular screws that screw into each other manually, except with no slot for the screwdriver, or am I getting it all wrong?

I just don't understand how those screws from the URL you gave me (which look like regular hardware screws) can be fastened to the bag strap.

Also, I have Noel's strap and I don't see how they can be unscrewed.

: A chicago screw is nothing like a Philadelphia lay. Anyways. It's a screw with a flat head slot, that fits into the nut, which is similarly shaped, with no slot. You can see examples in the following link:

: Tandy Leather

: The look similar to the rivets on Noel's bag (but not countersunk), and can be unscrewed to remove the strap.

: : Hey,

: : what the heck are chicago screws anyway?

: : can you post a pic of them on your Kepler strap if it's not too
: : much trouble?

: : Thanks,
