WALDES® Vintage Zipper Nickel Silver Size 10 Cotton Tape Two Way Separator

This carefully crafted product faithfully recreates the manufacturing methods and materials of the era, focusing on zippers from the 1930s to 1950s.
Using an extremely old method in zipper history, it uses non-ferrous metals such as aluminum (AL), brass (G), and nickel silver (N) for the element material.
The press-formed elements have a substantial feel, and since they are not plated, they offer a unique look that lets you enjoy the natural aging of the material itself.

About WALDES®
It is a historic zipper brand that actually existed in America in the 1930s.
As time passed, the brand gradually faded and became available, and we acquired the trademark rights and revived it as a vintage zipper.

1. Faithfully reproduces the manufacturing methods and standards of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
① The tape is woven with 100% cotton yarn on traditional power looms. The weft is tightly beaten in to create a strong tape.
② The cord is made by separately twisting 100% cotton yarn and carefully sewing it onto the tape.
③ The slider, open parts, and stop parts reproduce the shapes and feel of the time.

2. Characteristics of WALDES Zipper
① No plating is applied to the elements. As a result, the zipper will age along with leather or denim.
This creates a distinctive vintage feel that no other company offers.
② There are many options for specifications such as sliders, open parts, and stop parts, making it possible to select fittings without compromise to match the product.
③ Cotton in particular has a unique texture and material feel, and it is an environmentally friendly product.
④ The material feel of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s is suited to modern vintage fashion.
⑤ We support small lots, many varieties, and short delivery times.
⑥ Samples can be delivered quickly from as few as one piece, and for full production as well, we will respond with short lead times after consultation with the customer.
⑧ Cotton tape can also be made in custom colors (available from 60 m), with original pull tabs, engraving, and more.

3. Points to note about the product
① Compared with polyester, cotton tape is inferior in friction resistance, tensile strength, and color fastness. In addition, depending on the environment and conditions, the product dimensions may shrink.
② Cotton tape has a stiffness rating of grade 3 or lower. Care is required because it is prone to color transfer and fading due to processing, washing, friction, sweat, and light.
③ Cotton tape may vary slightly in color depending on the dye lot.
④ Due to the shape of the elements, metal zippers may have different slider smoothness at the top and bottom, such as for two-way open and W specifications.
⑤ The AG and BK specifications for the elements are not plated, but have been specially treated with chemicals. During sewing, the color of the elements may transfer to the fabric. In addition, the surface may change due to friction or post-processing.
※ There are various types of zippers depending on the application. Please select the appropriate type by considering the required strength and durability for the item in which it will be used.
We cannot take any responsibility for defects caused by post-processing performed by the customer, so please use after understanding this.
Also, when post-processing is performed, changes or effects may occur to the zipper depending on the method, chemicals, dyes, and environment used.
Please be sure to test before use.
