    YKK Strong Antique Brass Metal Open End Zip 6 Colours 26 28 30 Inch

    42 in stock Express UK Shipping Available  

    A genuine YKK Strong heavy-duty metal tooth open-end zip in antique brass finish — built for leather, suede, and thick outerwear, in 6 colours and 3 lengths. Brand: YKK Range: Strong Material: Metal teeth, antique brass finish, 30mm woven tape Tooth width: 5mm Type: Open end (separating) Lengths: 26 inch (66cm) · 28 inch (71cm) · 30 inch (76cm) Colours: Black · Brown · Fawn · Grey · Khaki · Navy Pack size: Sold individually (1 zip per order) HS Code: 9607110000 Country of Origin: United Kingdom The YKK Strong is designed for garment and craft applications where a standard zip simply won’t hold up. The chunky 5mm metal teeth and wide 30mm tape are engineered to withstand the stress of heavy materials — leather, suede, waxed cotton, and thick outerwear fabrics — where a lighter zip would snag or fail at the slider. The antique brass finish gives a warm, vintage character that works especially well on heritage leather jackets, craft bags, and traditional outerwear projects. As an open-end zip it separates fully at the base, making it the right choice for any garment that opens completely. How to Order: Select your preferred Colour from the dropdown (6 options available). Select your required Length — 26, 28, or 30 inch. Add to basket and proceed to checkout. Colours may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions. If colour matching is critical, we recommend ordering a sample first.
