Anyone else who modified Canon EOS R6 II neckstrap to work with Peak Design?

I have a black peak design neck strap that's super uncomfortable because it's thin. But it's black with red stitches. On the other hand I have a Canon EOS R6 II neck strap that's quite comfortable with the black + red Canon branding. I'm thinking of combining the two by riveting the ends of the Peak Design strap to my Canon one. Anyone else did this before? Did you bring it to a professional tailor or did you do it yourself? Got any advice?

Might I suggest a different type of carry system like a Black Rapids Sports Breathe, Cotton Chest carry system, Spider holster or similar.  Carrying a camera on your neck even with a wider strap is uncomfortable.  Up to you of course.

I thread my Canon strap through these:

I love clever DIY solutions, so applaud your spirit. That said, I think you would find a shoulder rig the most comfortable. I think you might find that it might even be less expensive to get a new strap. That said, I'd recommend a leatherworker could easily put rivets into anything nylon or leather. if you wanted to tackle that yourself I'd recommend folding over and using binding barrels. Many very nice leather belts are made that way. If you're working with nylon a hot ice pick or screwdriver with a wooden handle will melt a nice hole. Very dangerous and smelly, so I don't recommend it and I am NOT saying that I have done something similar, (though maybe?). I love DIY stuff, and have done leatherwork myself but I wound up just buying my straps. Really good ones are available for reasonable $$ in my opinion.  But I just might have to make myself one someday out of leather for fun!
