#8 Brass Heavy Duty Separating (Jacket) Zipper

#8 brass zippers are made of heavy-weight metal and feature teeth that measure approximately 8mm (0.3 inches) wide when zipped. These zippers separate at the bottom, jacket-style. 

The zipper teeth have a shiny gold/brass finish. These are one-way zippers (they have one slider). #8 brass zippers are heavier-weight than #5 but slightly lighter-weight and less bulky than #10 zippers. They are considered the "lightest" of the heavy-duty zippers and are not as bulky as #10s. 

This zipper is right-handed unless you check the box for "make left-handed."
