COIL ZIPPERS

Coil refers to the teeth composition and is available in a variety of finishes and on various tapes. Teeth are shaped from polyester (formerly nylon) in a spiral (coil) fashion and stitched over the zipper tape's corded edge. The slider is specially engineered to work with the corresponding teeth. A variety of pulls are available to attach to the slider for utilitarian and decorative use.

Classic Visible Coil Series are the industry standard and the most common zipper available today. Visible means the coil teeth are on top of the tape and visible unless covered by a placket or fly. The Classics are stocked in solid colors with a standard pull. Sizing includes:
