Abstract
A shoulder strap assembly includes a shoulder-engaging portion to which a buckle is fixed and a length-adjustable strap which cooperates with the buckle. The length-adjustable strap includes a portion reinforced by metal threads connected to metal threads provided adjacent the fabric wall of the bag to deter cutting through the strap. The reinforced portion of the length-adjustable strap extends through a longitudinal aperture in the shoulder-engaging portion and an unreinforced portion of the strap is provided to extend in a loop around part of a tension-locked buckle.
