Morphology

studly = stud (semi-transparent) = stud + ly

While the word is analyzable as 'stud' + '-ly' (having studs), the more typical adjectival form for 'covered with studs' is 'studded', so the form/derivation is slightly irregular.

Etymology

Studly also comes from stud, which means 'a small metal decoration' used on clothes, jackets, or shoes. So studly can mean 'covered with studs', decorated with small metal pieces.
