The problem was the original ones were plastic and had a habit of being knocked of and you didn't hear it fall.
They have the plastic cheap knockoffs on ebay for a few quid, they come from china and take over a month to come

Some of my past purchases of TLR's had a small length of thread attached to the cap, via a hole, which was then tied to the strap. Never lost a cap at all with these cameras.

You'll need the cap first of course, but you could easily make something similar to the above, or buy one, although I'm not sure what they're called. But when sold, they are usually just a bit of fine thread (to attach to camera strap) with a double sided bit of cushioned tape(?) at the other, so they could be used on just about any camera that has a lens cap.
