Better yet, I was able to have the holes for the tang buckle placed such that the middle hole is a perfect fit for an average day, and more tightly spaced for warmer or cooler conditions. Only bummer is that I forgot to order the curved spring bars from them, and they cannot source the quick-release curved bars. Fortunately forum member ToxicNATO hooked me up. I had to tighten up the radius just a touch with some pliers, transplant the tang buckle, and now she's ready to go.
On the OEM black strap.
