Dritz No-Sew Hook & Eye Closures, 4 Sets, Nickel

YES! I have two pairs of dress slacks that fit my legs but were too big in the waist, they would fall down and I hate having to wear a belt. What I wanted to do was add extra “eye” parts further along the waistband so that I could clasp the pants tighter. These things were exactly what I was looking for, they worked great. I just used the “eye” pieces, so I can only speak to the installation of those, but it was super easy to install them. I poked them through, put on the back plate, and used pliers to bend the prongs over and then did a couple taps with a hammer. Fantastic. As you can see from the pictures, I left the back plate exposed so it technically runs against my skin but I don’t feel it at all. I’m so happy with this product!!!

I was desperate to find a quick fix solution to brining in the waist on some work pants instead of paying for a tailor (I'd pay for a tailor before trying to sew) and these did the trick! This kit has all you need if you are interested in sewing these in so that you cannot see them on the inside waist band but it's not necessary.The only warning I would share (since it wasn't immediately obvious to me) is that they have a limit of how much you can bring the waist in because eventually your pants will bulk up around the zipper area because of how much extra space is there now, causing your pants to not lay flat. Also, the zipper area will be pulled to the side, no longer staying straight. For reference, I was trying to go down 2 pant sizes and while this helped get it to a reasonable size with a belt, it wasn't the long-term fix for trying to go down 2 sizes.

Cheap way to fix some pants I had "fitted" last minute before an event I had to attend. Long story short, the tailor had the wrong waist size and this product allowed me to extend it with no effort. It's not the highest quality or most attractive product, but it works fine. I really didn't care since my belt covers it anyways.

I wish these came with instructions of any kind. There were none, and I couldn’t even find any by searching online. For someone who has never installed anything like them before, and someone who is a very visual learner, I had the hardest time trying to figure it out— at least the hook portion, the loop it hooks through wasn’t bad. I ended up going back to the sew in kind, though. I was not convinced I knew what I was doing.

My grandson’s uniform pants for school needed a new fastener. This worked! I couldn’t figure out how it attached at first, but my daughter figured it out in no time, no sewing involved!

Worth the effort to have my fav jeans back in rotation! (Placed them inside the zipper. I placed the slot on actual zipper material nearest the Jean seam& the sliding in part inside the flap& opened, carefully, they inside flap material to place it with supportive part against it wide end facing curved end(both ends at edge of inside flap& under the cut open layer that can't be seen when pants are closed with hooks & zipper. (I actually could leave cheap zipper down& only used 4 of the hooks& it holds fine! Super stretchy jeans though. Still tight. Perfect!

Fill out the first time I used them. Not the best quality in my opinion

I bought these to replace hooks that had fallen out of my pants. They would not bend around the plate in the pants so fell out when I tried to use them. Waste of money. Would not recommend for replacement hooks - might work if you’re sewing something new?
