The 8mm metal teeth and 35mm woven tape deliver the strength and presence that lighter zips simply can't match, while the autolock slider holds firmly in position when released. Supplied in black throughout for a clean, consistent finish on dark outerwear and workwear. Length is measured from the bottom box to the top stop and does not include the additional tape extending beyond the stops. This zip can be shortened from the top if a bespoke length is needed.

    A genuine YKK Vislon No.8 open-end coat zip with chunky moulded plastic teeth — available in 14 colours and five long lengths, made in the UK. Brand: YKK Range: Vislon Material: Moulded plastic teeth, 35mm woven tape Gauge: No.8 (8mm tooth width) Type: Open end (separating) Lengths: 24 inch (61cm) · 26 inch (66cm) · 28 inch (71cm) · 30 inch (76cm) · 32 inch (81cm) Colours: Black · Navy · Royal Blue · Brown · Ivory · Light Ecru · Fawn · Khaki · Forest Green · Dark Grey · Burgundy · Red · Dark Wine · White Pack size: Sold individually (1 zip per order) HS Code: 9607110000 Country of Origin: United Kingdom The YKK Vislon No.8 is the go-to heavy-duty open-end zip for full-length coats, long parkas, maxi outerwear, and performance garments where a shorter jacket zip simply won't reach. At 8mm, the No.8 gauge teeth are substantially larger than the No.5 found in most everyday garments, delivering a stronger, more positive fastening that stands up to repeated daily use. The open-end construction means the zip separates fully at the base — the standard requirement for any garment that opens completely. The wide 35mm tape provides a generous seam allowance, ideal for stitching securely into heavier coat and parka fabrics. How to Order: Select your preferred Colour from the dropdown (14 options available). Select your required Length — 24, 26, 28, 30, or 32 inch. Add to basket and proceed to checkout. Colours may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions. Note: colour 578 (Dark Grey) appears closer to a mid-grey tone in real-world lighting. If colour matching is critical, we recommend ordering a sample first.

    A Milward No.10 brass open-end jacket zip in extra heavy duty gauge — built for motorcycle gear, coats, and heavy outerwear where a standard zip simply won't do. Brand: Milward Material: Brass teeth, woven tape Type: Open end (separating), No.10 gauge Lengths: 45cm · 50cm · 55cm · 60cm · 65cm · 70cm · 75cm · 80cm Colours: Black · Dark Brown Pack size: Sold individually (1 zip per order) HS Code: 9607110000 Country of Origin: China The No.10 gauge means larger, heavier teeth than the No.5 zips found in most everyday garments — making this the right choice for motorcycle jackets, heavy winter coats, parkas, workwear, denim, leather goods, and bag making. The open-end construction allows the zip to fully separate at the base, so the garment opens completely. Brass teeth run smoothly and resist corrosion, making these zips equally suitable for new makes and garment repairs.

Screen colours may vary slightly from the physical product due to monitor settings and dye batch differences.
