The origin of the zipper

      In the 9th century, clothes and many leather boots and shoes were fastened with buttons. Before people put on a coat or a pair of boots, they sometimes have to sort out dozens of buttons on the back of the coat or the edges of the boots. An American engineer named Whitcomb Judson thinks he can make things easier. He invented a new type of fastener, which includes a series of buttons. These buttons can be opened or closed with a sliding metal guide. He called this new thing "Shoe Buckle Switcher" and obtained the patent in 1893. This is the origin of the zipper. In 1905, Judson designed a new zipper that was easy to mechanize. The new zipper, which can be called a modern style, was invented in 1913 by the Swedish electrical engineer Sundback who emigrated to the United States. It wasn't until 1923 that Goodyear Corporation in the United States began to use zippers on jackets, and the zippers developed rapidly in the business and became popular.

      Today, in the 21st century, the zipper has evolved into an indispensable clothing accessory in people's lives, with both functions of practicality and beautification. Zipper is also a language. A good quality zipper, which calmly exudes from the inside out, reveals the owner's taste in silence. The simplicity of jeans is best interpreted with a copper zip; gorgeous leather goods need classic and stable zippers to show its noble temperament; cool leather clothes with metal zippers are more rebellious; luxurious evening dresses need to be hidden The support of the type zipper expresses its graceful gracefulness. It turns out that the most classic brand in the world can not do without the tacit assistance of a good quality zipper when expressing the charm of clothing. A top zipper will be divided thousands of times without deviation. In the opening and closing, the outstanding quality of the brand clothing should be proved. Hidden in the small zipper, the original zipper is a language.

      A good zipper must be beautiful in appearance, smooth in opening and closing, and durable. But in real life, everyone may have encountered the embarrassment caused by poor quality zipper. For example: the new clothes can't pull the zipper, the stylish cowboy opens the sunroof, and the beautiful handbag gets stuck in public. What is even more unacceptable is the embarrassment at the airport, important meetings, and commercial negotiations, which makes people feel irritated, but I don't know what to do, and I have no intention of calmly responding to the scene. Any garment is the most harmonious with its original zipper. Even if a new zipper is replaced, it will always feel that it is no longer perfect because of the difference in coloring and style. Zipper determines the vitality of clothing. For consumers, most manufacturers look forward to choosing high-quality zippers as clothing accessories when making apparel, once and for all.
