Closures, Zippers, and Buttons - Garment Components

Most garments require some type of system to hold garment panels together. To close and fasten most garments, one edge of the garment opening laps over the other. On women’s garments, the right side laps over the left; on men’s, the left side laps over the right. To fasten these closures, manufacturers use zippers, buttons, buckles, snaps, rivets, and hook-and-eye or hook-and-loop devices. 

A Zipper is a fastening device that makes a complete closure by means of interlocking teeth or coils. The teeth/coils are fixed to a cloth tape on one end and interlock on the other end. The slider is used to interlock or unlock the zippers. 

Buttons are traditionally round discs that are sewn through (buttons with holes) or sewn-on (buttons with shanks) to the garment.
