The Milward Fur and Coat Hooks and Eyes are essential hardware for tailors and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure faux fur coats, jackets, and wraps without the visual clutter of traditional buttons. Designed for durability and discretion, these 2.5 cm fasteners offer a high-quality brass construction wrapped in soft polyester thread, ensuring they remain rust-resistant and gentle on delicate garment linings. While they provide a strong, reliable hold, they are specifically optimized for long-pile fabrics, meaning they may not be the ideal choice for thin, lightweight materials or fine silks where the hook's profile might show.

While technically possible, the 2.5 cm size may be too bulky and visible for thin fabrics. These are best suited for heavier, textured, or fur-like materials.
They are rust-resistant, but we recommend washing garments with these hooks inside a laundry bag to prevent the metal from snagging other items in the machine.
Use a whip-stitch or blanket stitch through the pre-drilled holes in the hook/eye base using a heavy-duty needle.
No, the package includes 3 fasteners but does not include sewing needles or thread.
The brass is specifically chosen for its rust-resistance, making it suitable for winter coats that may encounter snow or rain.
Ensure the loop is slightly pinched or bent if necessary to create a tighter 'hook' geometry to prevent accidental unfastening.
Use a sharp pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim loose threads and apply a tiny drop of clear nail polish or fray-check to the base.
To install these fasteners, use a heavy-duty polyester or upholstery thread to ensure the hooks stay firmly in place during active wear. Align the hook and eye on the inner edges of the garment lining, ensuring that they do not catch on the outer fur. Because of the polyester thread covering, you should avoid aggressive dry cleaning chemicals that might degrade the softness of the coating. If the hook becomes loose after extended wear, simply re-stitch the anchor points using a secure whip-stitch technique around the metal loops to restore the original hold.
