Members DS STRAPS Posted September 22, 2015 Members Report Posted September 22, 2015 Anyone know of a good source for quality or metal zippers? I would like to try my hand at making a duffle bag of some sort Quote
Members lilwaysleather Posted September 22, 2015 Members Report Posted September 22, 2015 buckleguy sells Riri zippers which are supposed to be very nice. I ordered a few earlier this week so I will find out for myself. Quote
Thor Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 YKK zippers is what I would suggest. They never failed on me and are available around the globe. Quote
Members lilwaysleather Posted September 22, 2015 Members Report Posted September 22, 2015 I think YKK makes different lines of zippers. I have one on a heavy canvas bag and it is smooth and very strong. I bought a few smaller ones from ohio travel bag for wallets and they are very flimsy. Im sure they make nice zippers but you have to know which models to look for I guess. Thor any more info? Quote
Thor Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Sure just check their website here http://www.ykkfastening.com/products/zipper/ in my humble opinion there are YKK zippers, then nothing for a long time and then all the rest. Quote
Members jackieotb Posted September 23, 2015 Members Report Posted September 23, 2015 OTB (Ohio Travel Bag) can definitely help you find the right zipper for your duffle bag design. We carry a wide variety of YKK zippers. Your best bet is to call Rebecca W. here at 800-800-1941, ext.101. Rebecca is a product expert and I guarantee she will provide outstanding customer service. It is easy to register for an account today ($30 minimum order required) or you can purchase from us retail if you just need a few small items. Hope to hear from you soon. All my best, Quote

Members Nuttish Posted September 24, 2015 Members Report Posted September 24, 2015 Riri are far superior quality to YKK. Look at Buckle Guy. Give then a call if you need help understanding the various parts and configurations of their zippers. Quote
