KATM Jeans Hardware Kit - Pewter / Navy Zipper

Version two contains easier-to-attach buttons with an internal guide inside the back of the button, and spiked nails so that each and every button should be a success.

Why KATM made these kits:

KATM has chosen some beautiful metal finishes, taking inspiration from their favourite ready to wear looks in denim at the moment, high quality zippers, custom made tools, and packed them all in a super awesome kit for your jeans making journey at home. At KATM, we are all about the finishing touches... and this kit will take your jeans finishing to the next level of awesomeness!

You do not need to snip the rivet nails shorter, they just hammer in perfectly every time with our custom made tools. The anvil fits the button perfectly and holds it in place while you hammer it in. We've made this kit as easy as possible to use... we want you to have a confident and positive experience with our Denim hardware, and when you're done, a super professional looking pair to strut around town in.

What's included in the kit?

These hardware kits are available in 2 sizes: 15cm and 19cm
Zipper Colour: Navy

What size zipper should I choose?

If you have a pattern in mind, definitely check the specific details and notions list within that pattern.

As a rough guide.. 15 cm is good for men's and women's low-mid rise jeans, and for women some smaller sizes of high waisted jeans.

19cm for high waisted jeans in most sizes.

We include an extra top stop per zipper so if you need to shorten your zipper, you can do this at home. You will need some pliers/metal snips etc, but after removing the required about of teeth, you can clamp the top stop above the top metal tooth to ensure you do not accidentally pull the zipper pull off the teeth altogether which might have resulted in some swear words and frustration.
