45 cm / 17.72 in N5 / #5 Nylon Coil Jacket Zipper – Open End ZPHSN0045T10

This 45 cm / 17.72 in N5 / #5 nylon coil jacket zipper is a ready-length open-end zipper for jackets, short coats, bomber styles, vests, and other outerwear with a fully separating front closure. The bottom separator lets both zipper tapes detach completely, helping the garment open all the way to the hem for easier dressing, layering, and repair.

The zipper is one of the parts customers use most often on an outerwear garment. When it engages smoothly, sits flat through the front seam, and matches the garment’s proportions, the finished jacket feels easier to wear and more carefully made. The correct zipper is not only a functional choice; it also contributes to the visual balance and perceived value of the garment.

Where Can a 45 cm / 17.72 in Open-End Zipper Be Used?

This zipper is suitable for short coats, bomber jackets, vests, youth outerwear, selected children’s jackets, lightweight outdoor garments, and other projects where the finished front opening measures approximately 45 cm / 17.72 in.

Measure the real zipper opening before ordering. Check the neckline, front placket, hem, rib knit, seam allowance, lining layers, pocket position, and collar or hood construction. The overall garment length alone does not determine the right zipper length.

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 zipper construction for jacket, vest, hoodie, and coat fronts that need to open fully to the hem.

A closed-end zipper remains joined at the lower end. It is generally used for pants, skirts, dresses, pockets, bags, pouches, and similar fixed-bottom applications. Selecting the wrong end style can make a finished garment inconvenient even when the length and tape color appear correct.

N5 / #5 Nylon Coil Construction

This product is listed as Tip 10 in Turkish product naming and as N5 / #5 nylon coil for the U.S. market. Nylon coil teeth and polyester tape create a flexible zipper construction for many jacket and outerwear applications.

N5 / #5 offers a more substantial zipper line than a fine dress zipper while remaining more flexible than many rigid molded zipper styles. For heavily padded coats, rugged workwear, or products where oversized teeth are a central style feature, compare molded or heavier zipper constructions before production.

Black 322 Tape Color

Black 322 zipper tape can blend naturally with black, charcoal, navy, dark gray, deep green, and darker outerwear fabrics. It can also become a deliberate contrast line on light shell fabrics, helping the zipper read as a sporty or graphic design detail.

For a more polished collection, compare the zipper tape with the garment shell, lining, ribbing, drawcords, pocket trim, labels, snaps, buttons, logo plates, and other visible accessories. Matching the color direction across these details can make a jacket look more coordinated and intentional.

Sewing and Installation Guidance

Align the two zipper tapes at the neckline and hem before sewing. When closed, the left and right front panels should meet at the same height. Keep excess seam bulk, lining layers, and rib knit away from the bottom separator so the zipper can engage and release easily.

For lined jackets, quilted vests, stretch fabrics, layered outerwear, or padded coats, make a sample installation before beginning full production. Check for twisting, rippling, uneven front edges, a distorted hem, or resistance at the bottom separator.

When Should You Choose Another Zipper?

Choose a closed-end zipper for pants, skirts, pockets, bags, and other applications that must remain joined at the bottom. Choose an invisible zipper for dresses and skirts where the closure should blend into the seam. Choose a molded zipper where a more rigid or more visibly chunky tooth style is needed.

For a shorter open-front garment, compare the 37 cm / 14.57 in N5 / #5 nylon coil jacket zipper. For a slightly longer outerwear opening, review the 47 cm / 18.50 in N5 / #5 nylon coil jacket zipper.

Replacement and Repair Notes

For zipper replacement, match more than the length. Confirm the separating bottom type, coil size, tape width, tape color, garment thickness, front-seam placement, and original sewing method. Two zippers can look similar but perform differently once installed.

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

Custom Jacket Zipper Development

Nylon coil jacket zippers can be developed with custom lengths, tape colors, puller options, dual-slider constructions, branded zipper pulls, and collection-specific hardware requirements. For a custom production request, share the garment type, required zipper length, color direction, estimated quantity, and any reference sample or technical requirement.
