When you are looking to Buy Zips you firstly need to know if you are looking for an open ended or closed end zip. Open ended zips are fasteners that open fully at the bottom, like a jacket zip, so that the two halves can be completely separated from each other. Closed end zips are the opposite of this and stay connected at the bottom, like a dress zip.
Many customers Buy Zips because they need to replace a broken zip on a garment. It is often thought by people that the zip can be matched and just one side will need to be replaced. Unfortunately, this is not the case and if you have a broken zip the whole fastener needs to be replaced as each zip is very slightly different and the teeth do not generally match up on different zips. As this is the most popular reason customers are buying zips we find that our plastic and nylon open end zips are our best sellers. These can be used as replacement zips in jackets and anoraks and can even be used in knitted jumpers and jackets. If you are looking for a heavier weight jacket zip we also stock metal, brass and heavy duty zips which are suitable for leather jackets.
If you are looking to Buy Zips for dressmaking projects such as skirts and dresses we stock a range of dress zips and concealed zips. These are closed end zips and range from 4" to 22" long depending on your needs. Many customers like to purchase concealed zips as the zip is then completely hidden and will blend into garment well.
