The Milward Chunky Open-Ended Zip is a versatile, heavy-duty fastening solution designed for sewers and hobbyists looking to repair or construct outerwear such as jackets, cardigans, and fleeces. It features durable, no. 5 moulded plastic teeth that offer a smooth gliding action and long-lasting performance for medium-weight fabrics. While its robust design makes it excellent for structural projects, users should ensure the 75cm length fits their specific garment requirements as it cannot be easily shortened due to its open-ended nature.

As this is an open-ended zip, shortening it is complex and not recommended for beginners, as you would need to recreate the bottom stop and retainers.
Yes, the no. 5 moulded plastic is strong enough for most medium-weight jackets and fleeces.
Yes, it is pre-assembled with a bottom box and pin insertion system for full jacket functionality.
It is generally too bulky for lightweight shirts and is best suited for medium-weight materials like fleece, denim, or wool.
This refers to the width of the zipper teeth when closed; no. 5 is the standard size used for most outerwear.
Check for loose threads caught in the teeth and apply a small amount of graphite or zipper lubricant.
Ensure the bottom retainer box is fully inserted and aligned; if teeth are bent, gently realign them with needle-nose pliers.
To install this zip, ensure you are using a standard zipper presser foot to allow the needle to get close to the teeth without hitting them. When pinning, align the tape edges with your garment seam allowance before basting.
