I used the Leupold binocular harness and love it. However, I cannot attach my Swarovski rainguard cover to the clips (not quite enough room to pull them through). Does there exist some sort of hook and loop that is meant for this? I could just use a piece of string, but that wouldn't look very professional.

Your question is not silly, just fire away, and you may find someone who
may offer an opinion.

Here is what I use. This is a harness, with rainguard attached.

Works well, not string, but a short piece of light cord or shoelace.
Simple and functional.
You cannot purchase this type of thing, it is do it yourself.

Like Jerry, I just did it myself using both Paracord and Zip-ties. I kind of preferred the Paracord as the zip-ties had a tendency to break and rub the metal of the strap attachment point.

I personally have zero use for a rain guard tethered to a strap or a harness. I use some nylon cord and tether the rain guard to a strap lug on the binocular. That way each binocular that goes on either the strap or the harness retains it own rain guard. Jerry is right. Use a bit of imagination and some everyday stuff and make what you need.

A plastic cable tie will do it and look fine

Awesome, thanks guys! And thank you for not making me feel embarrassed about a kind of obvious question.
