37 cm / 14.57 in N5 / #5 Nylon Coil Jacket Zipper – Open End ZPHSN0037T10

This 37 cm / 14.57 in N5 / #5 nylon coil jacket zipper is a ready-length open-end zipper for jackets, short coats, vests, children’s outerwear, and other garments with a separating front opening. The bottom separator allows the two zipper tapes to detach completely, helping the wearer open the garment all the way to the hem.

A jacket zipper is one of the first parts customers use when putting on, taking off, or layering a garment. When the zipper length matches the pattern, the tape lies flat, and the bottom separator engages smoothly, the finished garment feels more practical and more carefully made.

Where Can a 37 cm / 14.57 in Open-End Zipper Be Used?

This zipper is suitable for short jackets, bomber-style outerwear, vests, children’s coats, school outerwear, lightweight outdoor garments, and other open-front products where the finished zipper opening measures about 37 cm / 14.57 in.

Always measure the actual zipper opening rather than estimating from total garment length. Consider the neckline, front placket, hem, rib knit, lining thickness, seam allowance, and the amount of opening needed for comfortable wear.

What Does Open End or Separating Mean?

An open-end zipper has a bottom separator that allows the left and right zipper tapes to detach completely. This is the correct construction for jackets, coats, vests, hoodies, and other garments that need to open all the way from the neckline to the hem.

A closed-end zipper remains joined at the bottom. It is typically used for pants, skirts, dresses, pockets, bags, pouches, and other fixed-bottom openings. The end style is as important as the length when selecting a zipper.

N5 / #5 Nylon Coil Construction

This product is described as Tip 10 in Turkish product naming and N5 / #5 nylon coil in the U.S. market. It uses nylon coil teeth and polyester tape, creating a flexible closure line for outerwear construction.

N5 / #5 is suitable for garments that need a more substantial zipper line than a fine dress zipper while still benefiting from the flexibility of nylon coil. For heavy padded coats, hard-wearing workwear, or garments requiring large visible teeth, a molded or heavier zipper construction may be a better fit.

Brown, Black, and Gray Tape Colors

Brown 292 can coordinate well with tan, camel, brown, khaki, and natural outerwear colors. Black 322 is a practical choice for black, navy, charcoal, dark gray, and darker garment fabrics. Gray 529 can work well with gray, cool blue, technical, and sporty color palettes.

Choose the tape color together with the shell fabric, lining, rib knit, drawcord, pocket trim, labels, snaps, buttons, and other visible details. A matching tape creates a quieter front opening, while a contrasting tape can become a deliberate sporty design feature.

Sewing and Installation Guidance

Align both zipper tapes at the neckline and hem before stitching. The front edges should meet at the same height when the zipper is closed. Keep bulky seam layers, lining, and rib knit away from the bottom separator so the zipper can engage and release comfortably.

For lined jackets, quilted vests, stretch fabric, layered outerwear, or thick construction, make a sample before full production. Check that the zipper does not create rippling, twisting, an uneven hem, or a distorted front opening.

When Should You Choose Another Zipper?

Choose a closed-end zipper for pants, skirts, pockets, bags, and other fixed-bottom applications. Choose an invisible zipper for dresses and skirts where the closure should be concealed. Choose a molded zipper when the garment needs a bolder tooth appearance or more rigid zipper styling.

Replacement and Repair Notes

When replacing a jacket zipper, match more than the length. Confirm the separating bottom type, coil size, tape width, tape color, front-seam position, and garment thickness. Two zippers may look similar but still perform differently after installation.

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

Custom Lengths, Colors, and Branded Zippers

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