Glad they arrived in good order Sir Ulrich!  As for a punch, I just use a relatively inexpensive rotary punch i got an Amazon, works great.

I ordered a leather punch for them, I do plan to wear them OVER my chausses so I might need to hold off before trying them on. I looked them up, apparently they're based off of an original from Germany,  which was from the 1320s.

You should have enough strap on there to put holes that will satisfy both with and without chausses if you don't cut them down all the way.

Yep. Mine are the same way. No problem with making a couple holes for different sizes/kits.
