YKK #45 Brass Zipper Tape

Had to replace the zipper on a vintage leather bag, and this YKK tape matched perfectly. The brass finish adds a nice warm tone, and the 2-yard length gave me just enough for a structured project.

The brass teeth glide really smoothly through my sewing machine, and the tape itself feels sturdy without being too stiff. Exactly what I needed for a heavy-duty canvas bag project.

The brass teeth glide way smoother than the plastic tape on my old jacket, and two yards was plenty for both sleeves. Cutting it to size was easy since the tape doesn't fray much.
