Their No.5 brass metal open end zip is the go-to choice for medium-weight outerwear — robust, smooth-running, and built to last through years of daily use.The brass teeth give a classic, premium appearance that suits both functional workwear and fashion outerwear. The open end construction means the zip separates fully at the base, allowing the garment to open completely — essential for jackets, coats, and cardigans. The autolock slider holds firmly in position when released, preventing the zip from creeping open during wear.To insert, pin the zip tape face-down along the front edges of the garment before sewing. Stitch along both sides of the tape using a zip foot, keeping the zip open while stitching for ease of turning. For replacement repairs, unpick the original zip carefully and use it as a guide for positioning the new one.SpecificationsBrand: YKKRange: Brass Metal Open EndChain size: No.5Tape width: 30mmTeeth material: Brass metalSlider type: AutolockLengths: 12" (30cm), 14" (36cm), 16" (41cm), 18" (46cm), 20" (51cm), 22" (56cm), 24" (61cm), 26" (66cm), 28" (71cm), 30" (76cm), 32" (81cm)Colours: 6 — Black, Navy, Brown, Fawn, Beige, WhiteHS code: 9607110000Colours are represented as accurately as possible, but monitor settings and lighting conditions may affect how shades appear on screen.
