Ykk (Zipper Manufactuer)

[teamPRO]

does it say YKK somewhere on your zipper? anybody know why??

[buh_buh]

probably the company that manufactures zippers?

[D'z Nutz]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the company that manufactures the zipper. I also read that the "YKK" is the initials of the guy that invented the zipper. Japanese, I believe.

Pretty much every zipper in the world is manufactured by YKK

no, not really.
cheap stuff won't use YKK for zipper!
since YKK is kind of top of line for the zipper. YKK is famous for their quality for the zipper but the also manufactured lot of things!

Ok, I just went through my zippers. Yes I am a dork, here's what I found:

Only about half of my zippers were Ykk, other names were found but only Ykk were in duplicates. Even my most expensive suits (D&G, Boss, Armani) didn't use Ykk, dispelling the "cheap stuff" factor. All my plastic zippers (winter jackets etc) do not use Ykk.

I believe that many companys are making their own zippers now or use other companies for outsourcing since they most likely can be made for pennies by the hundreds....

ykk used to be tha shizzzzz when it came to zzzzippers, now they be like Altezzas, y0! Snaps are the new zipper

Where are the zippers on your suits? The only place I can think of would be an inside pocket???

Where do you think?

[QuasarCav]

Bluenotes jeans, YKK all the way.

Maybe Zorro has a jean jacket suit, I hear they are all the rage in London.

Might have been a dumb question but I'm so sick of your nasty posts to everyone on here.
