As many of our regular customers know, we have a huge selection of zips on offer and if you are looking to Buy Zips, Calico Laine is the place to come. We offer a large variety of zips from dress zips to jeans zips, brass zips to tent zips, for all your fastening needs. Recently we have added several new zips to our range which gives you even more to choose from when you are dressmaking. Concealed zips: When you Buy Zips for putting into a dress, skirt or trousers you need to decide whether you want to put in a dress zip or if you want to put a concealed zip in. Concealed zips are used when you do not want to see the zip at all or compromise on the finished seams of the outfit by having a zip on show. When concealed zips are inserted properly they should blend in with the seam itself and the only part that should be visible is the puller. Here at Calico Laine we have always had a good range of concealed, also know as invisible zips however there have been some fabric colours that are hard to match. We have recently added to our selection and we now have another 6 colours to choose from including orange and coral which are available in the usual standard sizes of 8", 9", 16" and 22". When you Buy Zips that are concealed you know that you are getting a high quality zip from Calico Laine as these zips meet all the British safety standards. They are suitable for most fabrics including jersey, wool and cotton. Heavy Duty Plastic Zips: Although we already stock chunky plastic open end zips, sometimes your project may require something that is a little bit stronger and this is where our heavy duty plastic zips are ideal. Available in black and navy and in sizes from 22" up to a long 32" these zips are the strongest in our zip range. If you are looking to Buy Zips for workwear, jackets and motorbike wear, these are the perfect solution as they are tough and durable so will last for years if they are taken care of well. These zips are open ended and are a size 8 which means that the teeth are 8mm. These can even be used for thick heavy woollen cardigans and gillets. Whenever you are looking to Buy Zips, Calico Laine is the place to visit. With closed end, open end and continuous zipping we will always be able to help you with a solution to your dressmaking dilemma!
