What Is a 70 cm / 27.56 in T6 Sweatshirt Zipper Used For?
A 70 cm / 27.56 in T6 molded sweatshirt zipper is used in hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, cardigans, vests and lightweight outerwear where the front opening needs to separate completely.
This model has a two-way open-end structure. The zipper tapes can separate at the bottom, and the two sliders allow the wearer to open or close the zipper from both the top and the bottom.
What Does Two-Way Open-End Mean?
A two-way open-end zipper has two sliders and a separating bottom system. The zipper sides can come apart completely at the bottom, while the two sliders give more control over the front opening.
This structure is useful for longer hoodies, jackets, cardigans, vests and outerwear pieces where the lower part of the zipper may need to open while the upper section remains closed.
Where Is the 70 cm / 27.56 in Length Used?
The 70 cm / 27.56 in length can be used for adult hoodies, full-front sweatshirts, jackets, cardigans, vests and lightweight outerwear.
This length is different from short pocket zippers or children’s front zippers. For production, the real front opening line of the pattern should be measured together with the neckline start point, lower edge, rib area and seam allowance.
T6 Molded Sweatshirt Zipper Structure
This product belongs to the T6 zipper group. It is listed as a molded sweatshirt zipper and is suitable for garments where a visible, sporty zipper line is preferred.
The T6 molded zipper appearance works well with casual outerwear, hooded sweatshirts, sports jackets and everyday garment designs.
White 100 Zipper Tape Color
The product is listed with White 100 zipper tape color. White tape works well with white, ecru, light grey, pastel tones and light-colored sweatshirt or jacket fabrics.
The zipper tape color should be selected together with the main fabric color, rib color, sewing thread, slider appearance and other trims used on the garment.
Use in Hoodies and Sweatshirts
In adult hoodies and full-front sweatshirts, a 70 cm / 27.56 in two-way open-end zipper allows the front of the garment to open completely while also offering lower-opening control.
The lower slider can help provide comfort while sitting or moving, especially on longer hoodie and sweatshirt designs.
Use in Jackets, Cardigans and Vests
In jackets, cardigans and vests, a two-way open-end zipper provides a more flexible front opening than a single-slider open-end zipper.
This structure can be useful for longer outerwear pieces where the wearer may want to open the bottom section without fully opening the top section.
Sewing and Product Selection
During sewing, both zipper tapes should be aligned evenly from the neckline to the lower edge. The bottom separating system should sit correctly so the two sliders can move smoothly.
For zipper replacement, the existing zipper should be measured from the top stopping point to the bottom separating part. For new production, the real front opening line on the pattern should be used.
Product Type Clarification
This product is a two-way open-end sweatshirt zipper. It is different from a closed-end zipper, invisible zipper, trouser zipper, pocket zipper, zipper chain by the meter or single-slider open-end zipper.
If the bottom of the opening must stay fixed, a closed-end zipper is used. If a garment needs only one slider and a fully separating bottom, a single-slider open-end zipper can be selected.
