Kelly Anorak Hardware Kit

(French below) I have bought this kit twice. It's a really nice kit, it gives the professional look that I wanted. I like que YKK zipper (they are the best). The installation is easy with the tutorial on the website.
J'ai acheté deux fois ce kit. Il est vraiment chouette, il donne une allure très pro au manteau fini. J'adore la fermeture éclair YKK, ce sont les meilleures fermetures sur le marché. L'installation est facile quand on consulte le tutoriel sur le site de Closet Core.

This kit made sourcing materials so much easier. Everything is really good quality and I had no issues installing anything with the provided tools. Everything was perfect, thank you!

I was so impressed with the Kelly anorak kit. This is my second jacket and having everything together made it so simple. Loved the colour of the snaps and the kit to assemble them is very heavy duty

Buying this kit was the best investment for making my Kelly Anorak. I got everything I needed and didn't have to look around and purchase everything separately. All the hardware was of great quality and there were even extra snaps to practice with before doing the real thing.

Excellent pattern,easy to use kit.
I made the lined version with outer waxed canvas and inner linen/cotton blend.
Because of the extra bulk of the heavy canvas and thicker lining material I should have gone up a size (I made a 4)
It’s a little snug in the shoulders!
But that was my mistake! The pattern was easy to follow! And the hardware kit has good quality materials included!
I’ll make this again!

Made the Kelly Coat and decided as I’m a novice I would buy the hardwear kit.
It was really useful and I’m glad I did. It finished off my coat very well.
Would recommend it for a first go when you’re not sure and want everything on hand
Without too much effort sourcing.

I'm impressed with the quality of the Kelly anorak hardware kit. It has everything you need to make a beautiful anorak. Can't wait to get started on mine!

Kelly Anorak Hardware Kit

Quick shipping and high quality items

This gave my jacket a top end ready-to-wear finish. I highly recommend but I do wish they still produced a kit with silver hardware and not just the antique gold.

So happy I ordered this kit, I wouldn't have known what to order if I had to source this on my own. All of the components worked beautifully and were perfect for the jacket.

The kit looks as advertised and comes in a handy bag. I have not used it yet. So, I cannot comment on how easy it is to work with. It was easy to order and delivery good.

The kit is great! Exactly what you need to make the Kelly Anorak without having to hunt all the hardware down.

Wish it was possible to purchase from the Core Fabrics website. The other kits are available there and it would have been nice to be able to add it to a fabric order.

The Kelly kit came in an adorable bag. Every piece was perfect for my navy jacket. Easy to work with and having the install tools was also great! Highly recommend the quality and look!

I just finished my Kelly and it is perfect! The sew along tutorial helped to clarify some of the instructions but it was an easy make overall. The hardware kit is good quality and very easy to install. I love my Kelly and will be making another with a lining very soon.

I have been using Closet Core patterns for quite a few years now and love them. I have tried quite a variety. I find the instructions very straightforward and clear. I have bought fabric and supplies for a few new pieces and have a long list of patterns which I have sometimes used 4 or 5 times in slightly different lengths, pants and skirts, and tops and dresses. Very efficient and economical too. My favourite pattern source and now maybe some fabrics also.

Several months ago I purchased the Kelly Anorak Hardware kit. When it arrived, I set it aside for WEEKS, at least 10-12 weeks! Deciding to FINALLY get the pattern out and sew up a muslin, I reached into the hardware kit only to find that there were some parts missing. My thoughts were, "will Closet Core do anything about this- since the order was placed so long ago? Will they believe me?" After emailing them and explaining the situation, they responded immediately and favorably! Closet Core sent me the missing parts-no questions asked. Now THAT'S great customer service!!!!! Thank you Closet Core Pattern Company. P.S. I'm still working on that anorak.........

Excellent quality hardware. I had issues with the grommets only. It’s really important to watch the installation videos as they give good instructions for getting it right! Would definitely buy this kit again for a professional finish.

This kit allows a professional finish for the Kelly jacket and it was so worth waiting for these to be back in stock.

--Convenient
--High quality items
--Excellent support on website
--Makes Kelly anorak look professionally made
--Excellent value

A perfect kit for putting together a Kelly Anorak with matching hardware. Especially with online shopping dominating this year this was so convenient and everything is great quality!

These snaps are exactly what I was looking for! I ordered the kit just for the snaps and love that there is an extra set to practice installation. I used a different pattern but the zipper and grommets and cording are high quality. I would definitely order again.

I ordered the hardware kit for the Kelly Anorak and I'm glad I did. All the pieces I needed were right there along with the tools to install them. The snaps, grommets an toggles are great quality and look professional when installed. It was much easier than trying to find all the part separately.

Very happy with the kit all around and my jacket!. Having everything match in the perfect size was a time saver for me. No hunting all over the internet for what I needed.

This kit was really useful. Usually I would hunt around for hardware, but I figured this kit would make everything simpler. I like how everything matched, and that there were extras for me to practice. Everything in it was high quality. It was so much easier to have everything I need in 1 package. I don't anticipate making another jacket anytime soon (I love mine - but so time consuming!), but if I did I would probably purchase another kit.

I do think a key (with the kit) would have been helpful - just a diagram naming the tools and different parts. The guide online was useful, but I would like to have the key stored with the tools so I know what I have, and can use for other projects.

The first time I make a unique item I like to buy kits. Then I can spend time sewing instead of searching. This kit is perfect for that. The quality is just what you'd expect from Closet Case! I'd certainly recommend it.

Overall I really liked the Kelly Anorak Jacket Packet. I appreciated having all of the tools to install grommets and snaps as well as the sew-along instructions for installing them. I have made two Kelly Anorak Jackets thus far - one for my daughter (I added a faux fur button on/off collar over the high collar option) and one for myself
(I shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length and put a simple band finish on them).
The Kelly hardware kit includes:
15 x 15mm spring snap buttons
Tool kit to install snap buttons (including fabric hole punch)
3 x 6mm grommets
Tool kit to install grommets (including fabric hole punch)
1.5 yds sturdy black cotton drawstring cord
2 x spring cord locks (these secure the cord in place at the waist)
2 x cord stoppers (these finish the end of the cord)
1 x 26" separating coat zipper (black with brass teeth)

The only changes I would make are:
1. Make the separating coat zipper be a parka style zipper so it can unzip from the bottom as well as the top.
I am quite short so when my jacket is zipped up and I sit down it would be nice to have the option to unzip from the bottom.
2. The cord stoppers are a little small relative to the cord so I can't hide a knotted off cord inside the cord stopper. I suppose I don't have to use it but it's a nice touch to make the jacket look more professional.
3. Offer a shorter separating top-down/bottom-up zipper option for us short women.

Otherwise, great!
