Optilon Antique Brass Metal Open End Zips – No. 5 Weight Jacket Zippers
About the Zips
• Premium Brand Quality: These are wonderful, heavy-duty open-end metal zippers from the trusted Optilon brand. They feature a smooth-running No.5 weight chain with a brushed antique brass finish on both the teeth and the matching metal pull slider, offering a beautifully classic, vintage look.
• Professional Specifications: Built with a 5mm wide tooth chain when closed and a stable 30mm (3cm) total fabric tape width, ensuring plenty of room for secure, professional stitching into heavier apparel.
• Multipurpose & Adaptable: While primarily an open-ended zip for separating garments, it can easily be cut down from the top to create a custom length for closed-loop projects like luggage.
• Perfect For: Replacing worn zippers or making coats, casual jackets, heavy winter cardigans, gilets, fleece jackets, hoodies, and crafting high-end canvas bags or holdalls.
