Light grey two-way zip, open-ended, plastic teeth, 6 mm

Open-ended two-way zip in light grey – for jackets, waistcoats and bags

This light grey two-way zip with plastic teeth is open-ended and suits jackets, waistcoats, coats, bags and outdoor clothing. Two-way means you can open it from the top and from the bottom. That is handy on jackets and coats when you need more freedom of movement at the hem. Because it is open-ended, it opens completely and the two halves can be separated.

The plastic teeth close and open smoothly. The tooth width is 6 mm, so the zip suits medium to heavier fabrics. Choose your length from the options.

Inserting the zip

First measure the opening on your garment and choose the matching length. Pin or clip the two halves to the fabric edge and check before sewing that both sliders thread and close cleanly at the bottom end. Sew close to the teeth with a zip foot, without hitting them. This protects the needle and gives a straight seam.

What is this zip suitable for?

The 6 mm wide teeth are intended for jackets, waistcoats and coats made from medium to heavier fabrics. You can also use it for bags and repairs.
