What is the best way to open and close a two-way zipper?
To close
- Bring the top slider down to the lower slider at the bottom of the zip.
- Hold the sliders together and insert the pin fully through both sliders, making sure it reaches the bottom.
- Hold the bottom of the jacket and the pin side to create gentle tension, then pull the top slider up.

To open
- Bring the top slider down to the lower slider.
- Gently remove the pin from both sliders.

Always close zippers fully before washing. An open zipper can damage fabric or cause the fastener tape to shrink.
