Hi folks,
I have a pair of old Primlaoft Trousers that I am attempting to turn in to knee length shorts, as they have full side parting zips I am looking at some method to fasten them.
I have tried iron on Velcro with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stephen

I am removing the zippers completely as the zip runs from bottom to top (Army Patagonia Micro puffs) if it was the other way round I do a bodge job on the bottom of the zips.
I say 2 to 3 closures would be good as there is 1 press studs on top already.
Cheers,
Stephen
