Product Information
Full details
These Prym 18mm brace clips are designed for adult unisex use, offering a durable solution for dressmaking and garment repair. Their key benefit is providing a secure and adjustable strap fastening with reliable locking, making them ideal for replacing broken fasteners on braces or dungarees. A potential caveat is that they require sewing onto the garment, making them a more permanent solution than clip-on alternatives.

FAQs
What material are the Prym Brace Clips made of?
The clips are made from a combination of hardened steel and plastic, offering durability and a reliable function.
How wide are these brace clips?
These brace clips have a width of 18mm, which is a standard size for many types of braces and dungarees.
How do I attach these clips to my garment?
The clips are designed to be sewn onto the existing fabric loops or designated attachment points on your garment.
Can I adjust the strap length with these clips?
Yes, the clips feature a hinged buckle that allows for variable adjustment of the strap length.
How many clips are included in a pack?

Are these suitable for children's clothing?
While primarily designed for adult use, they can be used on children's garments if the size and attachment method are appropriate for the specific item.
Will the silver colour fade or tarnish?
The silver-coloured finish is designed for durability. Standard care (wiping with a damp cloth) should help maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not hold strap securely
Ensure the strap is properly threaded through the hinged buckle and that the toothing has engaged with the strap material. If the strap is too smooth or worn, it may not grip effectively. Consider using a stronger thread when sewing the clip to reinforce the attachment.
Strap length adjustment is difficult
Check that the strap is not too thick or stiff to slide through the buckle. Ensure there are no obstructions within the buckle mechanism. The toothing might be slightly stiff initially; gentle manipulation may help ease the adjustment.
Sewing the clip is challenging
Use a heavy-duty needle and strong thread suitable for the garment fabric. Pre-pierce small holes in the fabric loop if necessary, or use a sewing machine with an appropriate needle for thicker materials.
