ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A hook assembly for a hook-and-eye fastener is disclosed. The disclosed embodiment has a one-piece hook body having a pair of prongs. A retainer has openings through which the prongs extend. The hook body includes a locking tongue and a base underlying the locking tongue. An arcuate portion joins the locking tongue and the base. The prongs project substantially perpendicularly from the base in a direction away from the locking tongue. The hook body has a plurality of cold-pressed elongated recesses defined in an inner surface of the hook body and extending from the base through the arcuate portion to the locking tongue, thereby giving resiliency and strength great enough to withstand forces tending to permanently deform the hook body at the arcuate portion. The openings in the retainer are spaced from one another by a distance which is greater than the distance between the prongs. Each of the prongs has a bent end portion retained on the retainer with a space defined therebetween. With the hook assembly thus constructed, the hook body is tiltable with respect to the retainer, thereby accommodating the thrust applied thereto during, for instance, the ironing of a garment fabric to which the hook is attached.
