This invention provides a cord fastener wherein a tightening cord is threaded through or an end of the tightening cord is nipped thereby, the cord fastener being captured and fixed easily with stability on the surface of a down jacket with hood and the like. This cord fastener comprises a cylindrical main body having a bottom and a pair of cam faces at a bottom thereof and a sliding body capable of fitting in an inside of the main body and containing a body portion provided at an upper portion thereof and a pair of elastic leg portions at a lower portion thereof. Insertion holes for a tightening cord are provided in the main body and sliding body. The sliding body is inserted into the main body and then the tightening cord is inserted while pressing the sliding body. When the pressing is released, the sliding body is resiled so that the tightening cord is fixed. A surface fastener member is provided on a surface of the main-body perpendicular to the insertion hole by integral molding or bonding. Other surface fastener member is attached to a surface of a ski wear and the like and by engaging both the surface fastener members with each other, the cord fastener is captured and fixed. As a result, such an event that the cord fastener may swing during a motion of user or due to a strong wind thereby giving a uncomfortable feeling is eliminated.
