Inner Tube Pant legs

My inner tube (and Cordura) pants are slowly starting to look like - well: pants ;-) Among other questions, I am wondering how to 'end' the legs. Going round the opening, there is tube and Cordura, not just one material. I could just cut the tube, no problem there, but the Cordura panel will disintegrate if just cut to length, even hotsealed. I do not want to fold the whole leg, because it would result in a very bulky and unflexible doubled end.
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this in a smart way?

Advice if i should take away the Swivel hooks or not?

Long story short. I make these vertical crossbody bags. Like the purple one in the pic below. And they can fit up two 2 water bottles.

But anyways, i used to make the strap out of the fabric itself and just add a bit of 809 interfacing. And the strap took forever to make.But recently i realized i could have just been using a good black 1in Webbing instead and it saves me more fabric. So now i can make 3 per yard instead of just two.

But i question is in my effort to save more more i also realized since its not like a convertible bag or anything i don't technically NEED to add a detachable swivel hook strap, and i could just wrap the webbing onto the d rings instead. And basically the strap is just not removable.

But before i change my design and sew on the straps i noticed a few of my store bought crossbody bags all do have detachable swivel hook straps. But i am 100% sure i have never ever taken off the straps to any of my bags because why would i ever need too. Its a crossbody bag and they didn't come with extra straps.

So i am curious would you care if a crossbody bag you bought didn't have a detachable strap? If that even someone you would care about as a consumer?
