Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for affixing hardware components to garments. Hardware components are provided with an operative component and an adhesive surface. The operative component interacts with one or more other operative components and/or with one or more other features of the garment (e.g. with cords, straps or the like connected to the garment and/or with the fabric of the garment) and/or with one or more external devices. The adhesive surface is bonded to a corresponding interior surface of a fabric layer of the garment using an adhesive located between the adhesive surface and the corresponding surface of the fabric layer. The hardware component is projected from an interior of the fabric layer, through an aperture defined by the fabric layer, and to an exterior of the fabric layer.
