Brand: YKK Weight/Chain: No.5 (5mm teeth width when closed) Tape Width: 30mm Teeth: Silver-coloured metal Type: Open-end (separating) Colours: Black, White, Beige/Fawn, Mid Grey, Olive Green, Royal Blue, Red, Navy Blue, Brown Sizes: 10" (25cm) to 30" (76cm) — 11 lengths available Sold: Individually per zip HS Code: 9607110000 Country of Origin: Turkey YKK is the world's leading zip manufacturer, and the No.5 metal open-end is one of their most trusted workhorses. The open-end (separating) construction means the zip divides completely at the bottom — essential for jackets, coats, hoodies, and sleeping bags where you need to fully open the garment. The 30mm tape makes installation straightforward whether you're replacing a broken zip or building from scratch. The quoted length is the running length of the metal chain itself and does not include the cloth tape extensions at the top or bottom. Choose your colour and length from the variant selectors above. How to Order: Select your colour from the Colour dropdown. Select your required length from the Size dropdown. Add to basket and proceed to checkout. Colours are shown as accurately as possible, but screen calibration varies. We recommend ordering a sample length if colour-matching is critical.

    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.
