What Are Open-End Zips?
An open-end zip (also called a separating zip) has a box and pin at the base that allows the two sides to fully detach. This is the standard construction used in jackets, coats, and hoodies. Closed-end zips, by contrast, are fixed at the bottom and used in trousers, bags, and cushions.
Suitable For
Jackets, hoodies, gilets, fleeces, sportswear, children's clothing, craft projects, and garment repairs requiring a full-separation fastener.
