The piece of string is tied around the disc to secure the bag to the chest of the British Infanteryman it belongs to.

Might it be that the low end of the holster is made in two layers and inside out initially? That would make it possible to sew the plug into the layer that will be the inner layer when the holster is folded the right way, right?
