Overalls + Dungarees Hardware Kit

I’ve made many pairs of Jenny’s and several pairs of Persephone pants using the hardware from these kits. Until recently, the hardware was easy to install and stayed securely in place (although I’ve learned from experience not to run these through the dryer.)
I purchased a kit recently, and had so much difficulty installing. The shanks on the majority bent with one tap of the hammer; some managed to engage with the button, but are largely misaligned and wonky. Many didn’t engage at all, but simply bent, rendering them useless.
Although the product was disappointing, customer service has been exemplary throughout this ordeal. I’ve exchanged photos and details over email and the support team at Closet Core sent me a new kit and are continuing to evaluate their product. 1 star for the kit; 5 for the staff.

I purchased the hardware for the Jenny Overalls a while back when it became available in your shop. While I haven’t started the Jenny’s pattern yet, my overall impression of the kit is that they look like sturdy materials and I hope they will get the job done. Apart from that, the customer service I dealt with was professional and courteous and I am mostly likely to buy from your shop again.

Closet Case knew exactly what you would need when they threw in that extra button! "I wont mess up, I wont mess up," I keep saying, but of course as I was so excited to finish my overalls, I TOTALLY messed up my first button. Luckily I had that extra! The shipping was lightning fast, too!

As a new sewist, having this kit for the Jenny Overalls made my job a lot easier. I didn't have to worry about getting the wrong size buckle or mismatched metals. The quality is great and installation was easy, especially after reading the tutorials. After the first pair of Jennys, I came back for another set for the Jenny shortalls I made. (Photos from my blog, Petite Over 40.)

2 buttons were defective

This pattern is great, and the hardware set is perfect. I tried using other (cheaper) hardware, but it fell apart when I was installing it in my overalls. The Jenny hardware feels solid, I’ve washed it several times with no issues, and it looks professional!

So gorgeous!

I had a hard time with these! The buttons themselves were much harder to get in than other ones I've used - after bending two (being as careful as I possibly could) and not getting a single one to go in I ended up using other ones I owned, which is a bummer. I hate to throw things away but they aren't usable. The overall snap end keeps falling off, too. It came off while I was out and I spent the day walking around with one strap overalls like an elementary school kid. I wanted to like them, they are pretty!

I got these to use in the Jenny Overalls, and found them easy to install. One of the posts bent a little, so I'll have to keep an eye on it, but otherwise, they worked well.

The antique brass hardware from Core Fabrics is classic and beautiful. I made a pair of gold denim overalls with white topstitching and the brass color was a perfect complement . I had no trouble with buttons but used a press to install them. The kit is very reasonably priced and includes extra buttons .

The hardware is beautiful and sturdy, except the buttons, which didn’t fit well onto the posts. Every one of my buttons (8!) is misaligned, with the button shank bent out of line. It seemed like the posts were just a little too big for the button shank. I tested with another brand I had on hand and it worked fine, and I’ve set jeans buttons plenty of times in the past without this much trouble. And, yes, I watched the video on Closet Core’s blog after I struggled with the first. Now I’m just waiting for my poorly set buttons to pop off with wear and then I’ll replace them with what I had on hand. I also had to use pliers on the buckle to squeeze the narrow part in a bit more so it would actually snap when buckling to the bib button. That was easy compared to the button setting fiasco. It just seemed like the set pieces didn’t really fit together.

The buckles worked out great for my Jenny overalls. The buttons proved to be a bit fiddly, I am glad there was an extra in the pack.

This hardware is amazing! It's reasonably priced and sturdy. Super easy to install as well! Beautiful color, I highly recommend it!

This hardware came in just the color I wanted and I was glad it came in a convenient format (it's hard to find the whole kit with the right number of buttons and sliders elsewhere). I really appreciated that it came with an extra button as I messed up putting one of them in. I didn't use the Jenny pattern; I drafted my own and I used a thick wool for the straps but was still able to get them in the sliders without too much trouble. Also, I loved that the instructions for installing the sliders and buttons were available free on the Closet Core website, since I wasn't using an overalls pattern. Thanks Closet Core, really pleased overall!

I've placed 3 orders and been very impressed with the Customer Service at Closet Case. Twice I had issues, that were not CC's fault and they happily helped me resolve them. They have a really great system to get shipments from Canada to the US in a timely and cost effective manner! AND to top it off the patterns are top notch!

All I got was the hardware. I used it to make the Pauline Alice patterns dungarees. It doesn't include rivets or zippers, so I bought those separately. Assuming if you're making the Jenny's you are good to go. The order arrived in a timely fashion. The materials seem to be of good quality and I'm happy with how they worked in my overalls. Suggestion - mix and match hardware option. CCP is my favorite place to buy hardware, but it generally only comes in a kit form for specific patterns. Would be cool if you could buy by the rivet (so to speak). Just a thought - thanks!

It's awesome-all the hardware you'll need, packaged for your convenience, to complete your beautiful Jenny overalls. I am a huge fan of CCP hardware kits because I love the convenience of not having to hunt down the stuff to complete my project. Thank you!!! Try the jeans hardware kits.

I made my sister an overall jean skirt for Christmas. I wanted something a little nicer than what i could find in the fabric store. These worked great and look great also. I had to alter the pattern a wee bit because they were wider than what it was designed for. That was easy enough.
I was also glad to find such a wonderful website through my search for overall buckles!

Great hardware!

Perfect antique brass color. Holding up great in both of my Jenny’s so far.

Not just for Jenny's! I refashioned jeans into overalls and was not satisfied with the hardware at my big box store. These look great and were simple to install. Will buy again.

Easy to use and love the smooth look - this kit looks fantastic on my Jenny's

Easy to install and finishes your overalls perfectly.
