Zip care tips
A few habits help zips last longer.
Do not force a stuck zip
Pulling hard can break teeth or tear fabric, so stop and ask us.
Fix problems early
A small fault is easier and cheaper to fix than a broken zip.
Close zips before washing
Fastening zips protects the teeth and the rest of the load.
Avoid overfilling pockets
Strain on a zip causes splits, so keep pockets and bags within limits.
