[Avodah] Zippering A Hood To A Coat On Shabbos

Zippering A Hood To A Coat On Shabbos
The Mishna Brura writes (317:15) that if you have new article of 
clothing you may not insert on Shabbos its belts and strings that are 
left there permanently  because you are Misaken Mana or fixing the item.

The Piskei Tshuvos brings from the Chelkas Yaakov that attaching a 
hood to a coat with a zipper, in the beginning of the winter for the 
entire winter is assur just the same.  He also brings from Rav Vosner 
that it is even the Milacha of Tofeir sewing since it will remain 
permanently for the winter.  Moreover he brings from Rav Binyomin 
Zilber in Az Nidbiru that even snapping on an Atara on a talis is assur.

However he says there are those who are matir in all these cases 
because it is not Tefira and it is like buttoning your clothing which 
is permissible even for an extended period of time.  The matirim 
include the Btzel HaChochma, the Debriciner Rav, Rav Yehonoson 
Shteiff, and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.
