The chunky 5mm metal teeth and wide 30mm tape are designed to withstand the stress of heavy weight fabrics — leather, suede, waxed cotton, and thick outerwear — where a lighter zip would buckle, snag, or fail at the slider. The antique brass finish gives it a warm, vintage character that works particularly well on leather jackets, heritage outerwear, and craft bag projects. As an open end zip it separates fully at the bottom, making it the right choice for any garment that needs to open completely. YKK is the world’s most trusted zip manufacturer, and the Strong range represents their benchmark for heavy-duty performance. How to Order Select your colour from the dropdown. Select your size (26", 28", or 30") from the length dropdown. Please note: colours are shown as accurately as possible, but may vary slightly between screens due to monitor settings and lighting. If colour matching is critical, we recommend ordering a sample first.

Please consider this when ordering.The YKK Vislon No.8 is a heavy duty open-end zip built for demanding garment applications. The No.8 gauge refers to the tooth width — at 8mm these are substantially larger than the No.5 teeth used in most everyday garments, giving a stronger, more reliable fastening suited to outerwear, workwear, and performance clothing. YKK Vislon zips use moulded plastic teeth rather than coil, which gives a distinctive chunky appearance and a very smooth, positive action.The open-end construction means the zip fully separates at the base, making it the standard choice for any garment that opens completely — jackets, fleeces, gilets, and coats. With 14 colours and three lengths available, this is a versatile stock zip for both garment makers and repair specialists.SpecificationsBrand: YKKRange: VislonGauge: No.8 (8mm tooth width)Type: Open end (separating)Tape width: 35mmTeeth material: Moulded plasticLengths: 18 inch (46cm), 20 inch (51cm), 22 inch (56cm)Colours: 14 (see variant selector)Country of origin: United KingdomHS Code: 9607110000Colour accuracy: Colours may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions.
