This invention is in the field of clothing. Embodiments of this invention are directed to a fastener system suitable for coupling pairs of clothing items to one another. A frequent annoyance to many people is the misplacing or loss of one of the members of a pair of clothing items. A common example of this annoyance is the loss of one sock somewhere along the path from the clothes hamper, to the washer and dryer, and back to the owner's sock drawer. Devices for attaching socks in a pair to one another for purposes of storage and laundry are known in the art. Many of these conventional devices attach to each sock or garment at a single point of attachment. But such attachment renders the sock vulnerable to tearing as stress is applied, such as during machine washing and drying. |
