Description

Genuine YKK No.8 heavy duty metal open end zip in black — built for motorbike jackets, leather outerwear, and demanding workwear applications.

  • Material: Metal teeth, woven polyester tape

The YKK No.8 is one of the most robust zip specifications in the YKK range — a go-to choice for makers and repairers working with motorbike jackets, heavy leather coats, aviator jackets, and outdoor canvas. The 8mm metal teeth and 35mm woven tape deliver the strength and presence that lighter zips simply can't match, while the autolock slider holds firmly in position when released. Supplied in black throughout for a clean, consistent finish on dark outerwear and workwear.

Length is measured from the bottom box to the top stop and does not include the additional tape extending beyond the stops. This zip can be shortened from the top if a bespoke length is needed.

How to Order:

  1. Select your required length from the dropdown above.
  2. Choose your quantity and add to basket.
  3. Each zip is sold individually as a single complete open-end zip.

The lifestyle image shows a zip repair being carried out on a traditional leather motorbike jacket — the style of jacket this zip is ideally suited to. Lifestyle image is for illustrative purposes only.

Matching thread for sewing leather and heavy-duty outerwear is available in the shop.
