8" Brass Zipper
8" Brass Zipper
These high quality #5 YKK brass zippers are hands down our favorite zippers for bag making. They are strong, made of real metal, and slide open and closed so smoothly. They have a closed (non-separating) end and a large opening in the slider to accommodate a leather zipper pull.
Our Materials
Our Materials
Waxed Canvas
A densely-woven cotton fabric that's saturated with wax, giving it protection against the elements. It shows scuffs and creases that blend into a weathered patina. *fabric colors vary in weight from 10-12oz
Leather
Sourced from Oregon and a Pennsylvania tannery, and hand-selected for quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency.
Hardware
Hardware takes a bag from looking homemade to professional—and it's not hard to do! Using basic tools, you can set rivets & more. All our hardware is real metal and built to last.

I did some experimenting with different kinds of zippers. The uploaded photo (with the red zipper) shows what happens when the zipper is too lightweight for the fabric. The fabric is stiff, but the zipper tape is thin and doesn't lie flat.
I highly recommend using sturdy Klumhouse zippers when working with heavy fabric, especially waxed canvas. Check out the other uploaded photo (with the white zipper). It's an appropriate weight for the fabric and lies flat.

I appreciate being able to buy these zippers from Klumhouse. Great quality and matches the fabric making my life easier. Now all I have to do is sew

Fremont totes are sturdy, practical gifts. I like to tuck a matching miniature Fremont (or flat pouch) inside each tote I give away to make a set.
The 8-inch zippers are a perfect size for these matching minis. Scaling down the Fremont pattern to fit the 8-inch zipper was also a fun challenge.
Here's a picture of a crimson mini.
