Abstract
A garment closure provides ease of operation for wearers with physical disabilities, high tensile strength, and is reversible, adding to functional and aesthetic versatility. The closure includes two parts, each including a fastener piece with a rear face, a hook extending rearwardly from the rear face, and a recess in the rear face located forwardly of the hook. The hooks of the parts are engageable with each other, with the roof of the hook of one part at least partially located within the recess of the other part, thereby securing the two garment pieces together. The design allows for a secure and reliable closure mechanism that is easy to use and durable for various types of garments.
