Product Information

Since biker jeans have a tighter and tapered fit than regular jeans, you need to keep an eye out and make sure they don’t shrink in size and become unwearable. Here are a couple of dos and don’ts when taking care of biker jeans that you should always keep in mind: Double pull: A double pull zipper is similar to the reversible slider, but rather than having a single pull that can move along the rail it features two pulls that are attached to either side of the slider, making the zipper reversible.

Description: Continuous zipper (or zipper chain by the yard) is a roll of zipper tape and teeth that you can cut down to size. You’ll need to add top stops, a bottom stop, and a slider to turn into a finished zipper. These are usually available in coil and molded plastic zippers.

The number following a hashtag (like a Size #5) refers to the width of the zipper teeth in millimeters. Simply measure between the outer edges of your zipper teeth to figure out its size.

We live in a world where technology is changing so fast, it’s mind boggling. I remember the first day I saw a fax machine work and thought, “wait, you’re telling me that a piece of paper goes through the telephone lines and out the other side?” Queue the mind explosion. There are two size indicators you’ll need to watch for when purchasing a zipper. One refers to the width of the zipper teeth, and the other refers to the length.Metal or plastic top stops: These are made out of metal or plastic, and you use them by taking out a single teeth from where you want the top stop to go and clamping these into its place.
