ABSTRACT:
A fastener mechanism releasably unites articles of clothing, which are reliably kept in paired relationship throughout laundering and storage. The fastener mechanism has a first fastener component comprising a disk-shaped member having a body and a grooved portion circumferentially extending around the body. A second fastener component comprising a u-shaped member forms an aperture. The u-shaped member has a ribbed portion circumferentially extending there around to facilitate interlocking of the components. The first and second fastener components are permanently attached to the corresponding articles of clothing via an appending member. A protective concealment pocket is optionally included to house the fastening components when the articles of clothing are worn. The first and second fastener components may be attached to a single article of clothing and act as a releasable fastening device integrally thereon or serve to releasably unite separate clothing components functionally related and distinct.
