prototype GIANT zipper rezipped

This was our first prototype to show how the fully-separating "jacket" style zips come apart...and back together. (Note: The left and right halves are different colors here. Also, the prototype is backwards...that is, the front of the pull faces the sharp/jagged side of the teeth instead of showing the "normal" zigzag side of the teeth.) And yes, we're working on producing a fully separating zip with TWO pulls - stay tuned. ^_-

Do you guys have giant metal zippers?

[orgXIIIorg]

@TheSoupDemon To make any zip in metal larger than a #10 (which readily exist) it would take so much material it would be too heavy too use and be rather expensive to make. So, while it is possible (there were some back in WW2 for like bomber tarps) to be made today, there isn't much of a market for them. ^_^; That's why we make some of the #30's in a metallic finish to give the impression, though.

I got this zipper a while back for my Organization cosplay. I worked out great for a long time till the slider came off :(

@Torakat Hey, if you got a 'real' zipper like this, you just reconnect it on the bottom box feeder like shown here. Or if you got "zipper chain" (which is probably what you got for an Org coat) with two sliders, you can pop the slider(s) back on the track really easily as shown in the other video we uploaded.

+ if you want, you can add metal jewelry crimps to the tips of the zipper chain to prevent accidentally pulling the slider all the way off again.

where did you get that?!

@supersarah454 Oh, this was one of our old prototype zippers (which is why the sides don't match) since our original giant zips didn't fully separate like this. There are now "real" ones made by now. ^_^;

do u make Sora's KH1 1/2 inch jacket teeth

@PRocker320 Instead of the vinyl pull? We don't have metal pulls (since it would probably be too heavy in addition to the zipper for most people) but the key-ring is removable, so you can add anything you'd like onto the slider for the pull.

[PRocker320]

Cool. Do u guys have a giant metal strap to pull on instead of that one.

Okay, thank you!
