Shopping jeans hardware

by Jess from Muna and Broad December 1, 2020

We've already rounded up places that you can shop suitable denim, 10oz+or higher, and today we're rounding up places you can shop hardware for your jeans.

Do check out the zipper lengths for the different sizes of our Noice Jeans before shopping since our zippers are longer than other jeans patterns to keep the pattern in-proportion for larger bodies.

Hardware kits for your jeans

Blackbird Fabrics has jeans kits with a 9" zip, and they also have jeans kits without zips (so buttons/tacks and rivets). See their jeans kits here.

Don't forget to check what size zip you'll need for your Noice Jeans- it depends on your size.

Etsy

As always, Etsy has quite a few stores selling 9" and 11" jeans zips, a variety of jeans buttons (tacks), and a variety of rivets!

A great Etsy shop with a lovely selection is CitronJeans. Leila purchased some hardware from here and loves it!

Need a 9" or 11" zip?

If you can't find 9" or 11" jeans zips locally, you can contact YKK in your region directly and order jeans zips in specific colours (great if you've managed to find some colourful rigid denim). If you're in the USA or Canada, try Wawak. In the UK, check out Jaycotts. You could also try contacting your local shop to see if they can easily order longer zips on your behalf.

Looking for rivets?

A great place to look for rivets is leather supply stores.

In New Zealand Lapco. In Australia Birdsall, DSHorne, East Coat Leather, Austanners. In Canada Lonsdale Leather, OA Leather Supplies. In USA Tandy Leather, Frogjelly Leather. In the UK Artisan Leathers, Leather4Craft, Majestic Hides.
