Frequently asked questions

Are Brador's zippers genuine YKK?

Yes. Brador carries genuine YKK zippers — the industry standard for quality, value, and innovation in zipper manufacturing.

What is the difference between 1-Way and 2-Way zippers?

A 1-Way zipper opens and closes from a single direction, typically from the bottom. A 2-Way (separable) zipper can be opened from both the top and bottom, allowing for ventilation control — commonly used on jackets and parkas where partial opening from the hem is useful.

What zipper material should I choose — Brass, Nylon, or Plastic?

Brass zippers offer a durable, classic metal finish suited to heritage and heavy-use garments. Nylon coil zippers are flexible, quiet, and lightweight, well suited to outerwear. Plastic (molded) zippers are lightweight and cost-effective, often used in casual and everyday applications.
