Abstract
A holder for military uniforms that is secured through the fabric of the uniform by a threaded pin member. The pin is engaged by a threaded nut bearing against the reverse side of the uniform. The threads on the pin member are less than one-half the depth of the threads on the nut. The nut is comprised of acetal resin so that the relatively larger nut threads flexibly engage the pin member threads and provide a secure threaded relationship without stripping of the nut or pin threads due to cross-threading or other mistreatment.
