Royal British Legion Poppy Zip Puller Pack of Two

Product Information

This is useful for projects where water-resistance is needed, since the teeth being turned to the inside provides another layer of protection against water. It's also great if you just don't like seeing the zipper teeth from the outside! Reversible Zipper Sliders While "reversible sliders" may sound like it should be the same thing as "reverse sliders" - it's actually something completely different! Non-separating zippers don't come apart completely. Sometimes the bottom of the zipper doesn't come apart and sometimes both the top and bottom remain attached. However, the key is to know that the number corresponds to the size of your zipper. How to Measure a Zipper Metal zippers are the most strong and durable option - they are made with metal teeth that are clamped onto the zipper tape. They are also a statement zipper! You can find beautiful zippers made with all types and colors of different metals.

If you need to find a replacement zipper for a garment or other item, you'll need to determine the size and type of the original zipper so you can find an appropriate replacement. Most sewing patterns don't recommend a zipper size, they just give you a length. So you'll have to choose the size yourself! Keep this in mind while selecting a zipper size: the larger the size, the wider and more conspicuous the teeth will be - and the heavier the zipper will be.

Dimensions & Specifications

Because we craft every piece of jewelry by hand, all dimensions are approximate. Subtle variations are natural. Most sewing patterns will recommend a length of zipper for the project. To find the length of a zipper, measure from the top stop to the bottom stop. Or, if you're using a separating zipper, from the top stop to the retaining box. Bottom Stop: The bottom stop is similar in functionality to the top stop - it's meant to prevent the slider from coming off the bottom of the zipper. However, only non-separating zippers have bottom stops. The bottom stop usually goes across both sides of the zipper tape to keep the bottom of the zipper together. The downside to coil zippers is that the thin teeth can be prone to getting bent or damaged over time. Molded Plastic Zippers

In addition, the teeth of molded zippers have a tendency to pull apart and separate while closed if pressure is placed on the zipper. This makes them a bad choice for bags that may get overstuffed. Metal Zippers

Introducing our Remembrance Poppy Zipper Pull, a thoughtful design created to honor those who have served our country and made significant sacrifices. More than just a functional accessory, it stands as a gentle reminder of heroism and valor. As I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of options when it comes to zippers these days. And that includes the sliders. Most zippers can be separated into 2 overarching categories: separating zippers and non-separating zippers. For one, they are heavier than their plastic counterparts - keep this in mind when making lighter-weight garments or projects. For example, a metal zipper won't pair well a chiffon!
