I have a new pair of jeans that the zipper will not stay up. I know there was a notion like a hook you put on your tab and then on your button. I think I got that right.

Does anyone know about those and where you can get them?

Thank you very much, Sandy

I don't know about the notion you're asking about...sorry.

Just wanted to see if you're putting the zipper tab down after you zip up? Some tabs have a 'stop' on the back that secures the zipper.

If you do put the tab down and it still happens...personally, I'd take the jeans back to the store for an exchange, telling them the zipper is defective. You shouldn't have to mess with this notion everytime you zip and unzip!

I think this is the notion you are looking for. They cost $3.50 for a package of 3 through A Great Notion .

But if the zip will not stay up, return the jeans, the zipper is defective.

Hi gang-- I thought about consolidating this thread with a similar thread from September-- but, since it's been a while since then, let me just refer you to that discussion:

Previous Zipper thread

good luck!
