Abstract: A garment lock has a casing, a spool, two springs, and a member, flexible long and thin. The casing has a first side with a post and a second side with tabs, both joined by a rim. The casing attaches to a garment with a pin. The spool rotates upon the post within the casing. The springs resist rotation and movement of the spool. The member as wire, chain, or tape, winds upon the spool. Upon reaching the desired length of the member, the casing removably locks the spool. After use, the flexible thin member retracts into the casing.
