How to ignore zero padding for parsing the timezone offset using Chrono in Rust?

Question

I want to parse the following example string with Chrono: "03:00 +3" where +3 is the timezone offset, i.e. the format %#z or %:::z but without leading zeros.

I have already tried the format specifiers

%z, %:z, %::z, %:::z and %#z
%-z, %-:z, %-::z, %-:::z and %-#z

but I always get either premature end of input or bad or unsupported format string errors.

How can I specify this format?
