Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up

RE: Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up By Sandi (Guest Post) Thanks to everyone for all the super ideas here. I will try them all and see which one works the best for me. If none do I will have the zipper replaced.

This should help. Posted on 02/17/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up By pamphyila (598) Profile Blog! Contact I agree about your zipper lacking a lock - or perhaps you haven't been locking it - the tab which you use to pull down the zipper also moves back to lock the zipper in place when fully zipped. Are there any teeth missing at the top of the zipper? if there is not a "stopper" then the zipper won't lock. I have sewn in a stopper with thread. Also check the teeth at the top of the zipper and see if they have to be re-aligned. (You can do that with a pair of pliers.)

If you don't want to get the new zipper, what I have done is to loop a rubber band in the zipper pull, then before I button or snap the jeans, put the rubber band around the button or snap, so that when closed, they hold the rubber band up, which in turn, holds the zipper up. You could use a hair rubber band that would match the jeans, but I have never had one that showed.

It's not that expensive and being that they are your favorite jeans it's money well spent :-) Posted on 02/17/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up By KJ (Guest Post) This has happened to me. Here's a simple and cheap idea. I've used a medium sized safety pin to close my jeans. Put the open side of the pin through the hole in the zipper pull, then through the buttonhole and shut the pin. Button your pants normally. Practice a few times, to make sure the pin is hidden as much as possible. Much - much cheaper than having a seamstress replace the zipper, or just tossing the pair away. Give it a try. Posted on 02/17/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
