Kylie & The Machine have chosen some beautiful metal finishes, taking inspiration from their favorite ready to wear looks in denim at the moment, high quality zippers, custom made tools, and packeged them all in a super awesome kit for your jeans making journey at home. At KATM, they are all about the finishing touches... and this kit will take your jeans finishing to the next level of awesomeness!

You do not need to snip the rivet nails shorter, they just hammer in perfectly every time with their custom made tools. The anvil fits the button perfectly and holds it in place while you hammer it in. They've made this kit as easy as possible to use... they want you to have a confident and positive experience with their denim hardware and when you're done, a super professional looking pair to strut around town in.

They have also included an extra top stop per zipper so if you need to shorten your zipper, you can do this at home. You will need some pliers/metal snips etc, but after removing the required amount of teeth, you can clamp the top stop above the top metal tooth to ensure you do not accidentally pull the zipper pull off the teeth altogether which might result in some swear words and frustration!

What's included in the kit?
Hardware for 2 pairs of jeans:
2 x YKK locking jeans zippers nickel finish (MADE IN AUSTRALIA)
2 x Zipper "top stops" for use in shortening the zipper to a custom length
3 x Jeans Buttons and nails (one extra just in case, or keep for another project)
12 x Rivets and standard nails (most RTW jeans have 6 or less rivets per pair)
12 x Longer rivet nails (for installing rivets on bulky coin pockets or for very thick denim)
1 x reusable tool kit - including 3mm thick awl, circular anvil, rivet setter and button setter. You will also need your own hammer to use this kit.
1 x Instruction sheet, with additional photo and video tutorials on our blog which can be accessed through the QR code on the pack.

What size zipper should you choose?
If you have a pattern in mind, definitely check the specific details and notions list within that pattern. As a rough guide: 15 cm is good for men's and women's low-mid rise jeans, and for women some smaller sizes of high waisted jeans.
