How Should You Use Our Jeans Zips?

1. Measure the fly opening and pick a zip that matches the length. We offer brass-tooth jeans zips in multiple lengths.

2. If you are repairing a pair of trousers, remove the old zip and use a seam ripper to unpick the stitching. Work slowly to avoid cutting the fabric.

3. Line the new zip up with the fly so the top stop meets the waistband and the teeth are centred in the fly opening.

4. Pin the zipper tape through both fabric layers from inside the fly so it won’t shift while you sew, and remove the pins after the permanent stitches are done.

5. Put the zipper foot on your machine along with the cloth and stitch slowly to the teeth on each side. As you sew, watch the foot, not the needle, for a straight line, and sew from the top down.

6. Reinforce the bottom as well as the top with a few hand stitches so the zipper can take the stress of regular wear. Topstitch the fly edge for a clean, durable finish.

7. Test the slider fully up and down several times before final pressing. Press the finished fly gently with a press cloth.

Here’s a tip: Choose brass-tooth jeans zips for heavy denim and match the length of the zips beforehand. We list multiple brass teeth lengths, along with their prices.

FAQs

Does a metal zip work better for denim than plastic?

Yes, metal zips for jeans (brass or metal teeth) are stronger and give the classic denim look. For heavy or frequently used items, brass or metal teeth usually outlast plastic alternatives.

What size zip should you choose for trousers?

Measure the original zip or the fly opening. Typical jeans fly lengths are 6"– 8", but we stock a range so you can match children’s, women’s and men’s sizes precisely.

Can a metal jeans zip be shortened?

Yes, you can shorten the tape and add a new top stop. For best results, choose the closest available length or ask our team for advice if you plan to alter a metal-tooth zip.

Are these zips suitable for commercial use?

Yes, these zips are great for tailors, retailers and manufacturers. Trade prices and bulk packs are also available for regular orders.

What Are Jeans Zips Used For?

For certain items of clothing, a fastening that resists repeated stress and washing is essential to seamless operation. Metal zips for jeans are normally used for fly closures, jacket fronts and heavy skirts because they combine strength with the classic look that denim customers expect. Use them when constructing garments, replacing a broken zip on trousers, or when you want an authentic finish for workwear or fashion pieces.

The primary use of zips in trousers and jeans is that they must open and close smoothly multiple times, while resisting the tug and abrasion of daily wear. It should also sit cleanly inside the fly and seam without puckering the fabric. Our metal zips for jeans are engineered exactly for that!

They have stronger teeth, durable sliders and reinforced tape that cope with denim’s weight and washing, so your trousers and denim pieces remain functional and neat for longer. Top tailors use our metal zips for workwear, utility pants, and jackets because they are reliable and durable, even with heavy use.

If you’re unsure which tooth type, length or finish suits your project, our team can recommend the best option to balance appearance, durability and ease of fitting. Just contact us and we’ll point you to the ideal zip for the job.
