Historical

During WWII, Baby Durable® DOT snap fasteners were a standard component in various military items, including M1C paratrooper helmet liners worn by U.S. airborne troops. The brass version was resistant to corrosion and wear—crucial for airborne operations such as D-Day and Operation Market Garden.
