"The pulpit decried, 'The Hookless Fastener' as 'the Devils fingers.'
[because it made it easier] to remove clothing with autonomy" Fashion historian Ronald Knoth.
Thanks to Gideon Sunbacks' invention the "Hookless No.2 " gave birth to one of my favorite structural device. Gideon would of been 132yrs young Monday of this week, today I honor his foresight and my two favorite DIY thus far this year. It is funny how something so mundane as a zipper [today] stirred up so much backlash during its inception. I personally am glad that the days of corsets, boning, hooks, and clasps are over what torture clothing was for women before zippers.
