YKK is the world’s leading zip manufacturer, trusted by fashion houses, workwear brands, and home sewers for over 80 years. 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.
