Perlon strap with no holes?

I bought this Perlon strap. It has a buckle with pin, but no holes in the strap. Forgive my ignorance, but how is this supposed to work? May go NATO if no one knows.

One of the beautiful things about perlon is its near-infinite adjustability. Just poke the pin though wherever you'd like and you're good to go! I'm a big fan of perlon.

Just poke the pin through the spaces where the fibers cross. It’s infinitely adjustable. Person straps are very comfortable.

Not all perlons are made the same. Just like nato/zulus, a lot suck and a few don't.

Let us know how you like it-
I have a few Perlons and while I love the infinite adjustability, they always seem so flimsy and scratchy on my wrist, particularly when paired w a seiko diver.

So any update? Is it super stiff when you first got it? Most feel like hard plastic. For the cost of this one I was hoping it was an upgrade.
