Placket

Placket

Placket is a strip of fabric that originally had a primarily decorative function—it was often part of a uniform, appearing as a vertical strip of fabric covering buttons.

Today, the placket is a common component not only of clothing but also of outdoor gear, where it serves practical protective functions:

• protects against drafts,
• covers both dry and traditional zippers from moisture,
• increases resistance to dust and other external influences,
• can also serve to aesthetically enhance the product.

The placket can be found on backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, bags, cases, and outdoor clothing. Anywhere where increased protection and functionality are needed.
