Spring Hook: What you need to know

Small details can change the vibe of a garment. This time, let’s discuss hook and eye fasteners, shall we. 

The design of hooks

A hook set made up of hook and eye.

The hook is called “Male” and the eye is called “Female”.

Spring Hook

SP Hook

You may often see them on skirts and dresses above the zipper.

The ease of closing a zipper changes considerably between with and without these hooks.

There are several sizes available, so you can choose the size that best suits your needs.

It is also nice that they are compatible with needle detectors.

Sold in dozens (12 sets).

The difference in size looks like this with size 0 from the top.

Lock Hook

Spring Hook on the left, Lock Hook on the right

Lock hooks are spring  hooks with a stopper.

The inside part of the hook sticks out, so it is harder to come off than a normal spring hook.

Big size hook

W-TB6 Tombi Hook

This is a larger hook than the spring hook and is easier to attach and use.

It can be used for thicker jackets and coats.

Masashi Hook

This is a hook that is wrapped around the body.

It is not shiny, so it blends easily with clothes.

The overall size of the hook is large, so it is recommended for thick jackets.

The #99 is for dyeing and can be dyed to match the fabric.
