28 cm / 11.02 in #6 Nylon Coil Sweatshirt Zipper – Open End ZPHSN0028T6

This 28 cm / 11.02 in #6 nylon coil sweatshirt zipper is a ready-length open-end zipper for hoodies, short sweatshirts, children’s jackets, lightweight vests, and other open-front garment projects. Its separating construction allows the two zipper tapes to detach fully at the bottom, making the garment easier to put on, remove, and layer.

A zipper affects the way a garment feels every time the customer gets dressed. When the zipper length fits the pattern, the bottom separator works smoothly, and the tape sits flat in the front opening, the product feels more practical and more carefully made. In a hoodie or short jacket, this is especially noticeable because the zipper is used repeatedly throughout the day.

Where Can a 28 cm / 11.02 in #6 Open-End Zipper Be Used?

This zipper is suitable for short hoodies, cropped sweatshirts, children’s jackets, lightweight outerwear, vests, small-size garment fronts, and selected sportswear projects. The 28 cm / 11.02 in length works best when the finished zipper opening is relatively short.

Always measure the actual zipper opening on the pattern before ordering. The overall length of the garment is not enough to determine the correct zipper size. Check the neckline, hem or ribbed band, front opening, seam allowance, lining thickness, and any hood or collar construction.

What Does Open End or Separating Mean?

An open-end zipper has a bottom separator that allows the left and right zipper tapes to come apart completely. This is the standard zipper construction for garments that must open all the way to the hem, including hoodies, jackets, coats, vests, and selected outerwear pieces.

A closed-end zipper stays joined at the bottom. It is normally used for pants, skirts, pockets, bags, pouches, and other fixed-bottom openings. Choosing the correct end type matters as much as choosing the correct length.

#6 Nylon Coil Construction

This product is identified as Type 6 in Turkish product naming and #6 nylon coil in the English version. It uses nylon coil teeth with polyester zipper tape, creating a flexible closure line for sweatshirt and lightweight outerwear construction.

The #6 size gives a more visible and substantial zipper line than a very fine dress zipper, while remaining more flexible than many rigid molded zipper styles. It can be a good fit when a hoodie, children’s jacket, or lightweight outerwear piece needs a practical front closure without an overly heavy appearance.

White 100 Tape Color

The currently listed zipper tape color is White 100. White tape can blend naturally with white, cream, light gray, pastel, and children’s garment colors. On dark fabrics, it creates a deliberate contrast that can make the front zipper line look more sporty and visible.

Before production, compare the tape color with the shell fabric, lining, rib knit, drawcord, pocket trim, print colors, labels, snaps, and other visible hardware. A consistent color direction makes the finished garment look more intentional.

Sewing and Installation Guidance

Align the zipper tapes carefully at the neckline and bottom edge before sewing. The left and right front panels should meet evenly when the zipper is closed. Keep the bottom separator clear of bulky seam layers, thick ribbing, or excess lining so it can engage and release smoothly.

For lined hoodies, quilted jackets, padded vests, stretch fabrics, or multi-layer garment construction, complete a sample installation before starting the full run. Check that the front edge does not twist, ripple, pull inward, or sit unevenly when closed.

When Should You Choose Another Zipper?

Choose a closed-end zipper for pants, skirts, pockets, bags, and other projects that should remain joined at the bottom. Choose an invisible zipper for dresses and skirts that need a concealed seam finish. Choose a molded zipper when the garment requires a more rigid, chunky tooth appearance.

For longer outerwear and larger garment fronts, compare the 37 cm / 14.57 in #5 nylon coil jacket zipper if the garment opening needs more length and a slimmer coil size is suitable. For broader outerwear zipper choices, browse the jacket zipper collection.

Replacement and Repair Notes

When replacing a zipper in an existing sweatshirt or jacket, match more than the length. Confirm the open-end separator style, coil size, tape width, tape color, front seam position, and garment thickness. Two zippers can look similar but behave differently once installed.

Replacing only the slider may not solve every zipper problem. If the coil, tape, separator, or zipper alignment is damaged, replacing the complete zipper can create a more reliable repair.

Custom Lengths and Colors

Nylon coil sweatshirt zippers can be developed with alternative lengths, tape colors, puller styles, dual-slider constructions, branded pullers, and collection-specific requirements. Share the garment type, target length, color direction, estimated quantity, and any reference sample for a custom-production review.
