This is a carefully crafted product that faithfully recreates the manufacturing methods and materials of the time, focusing on zippers from the 1930s to 1950s. Using a very old zipper manufacturing method, it uses nonferrous metals such as brass (G) and nickel silver (N) for the element material. The press-formed elements have a substantial feel, and since they are not plated, they have a unique atmosphere that lets you enjoy the natural aging of the material.

About WALDES® It is a historic zipper brand that actually existed in America in the 1930s. As time passed, the brand became dormant and free; we acquired the trademark rights and revived it as a vintage zipper.
1. It faithfully reproduces the manufacturing methods and standards of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. ① The tape is woven on traditional power looms using 100% cotton thread. The weft is tightly packed to create a strong tape. ② The cord is separately twisted from 100% cotton thread and carefully sewn onto the tape. ③ The slider, open stop, and end stop reproduce the shapes and atmosphere of the time.
2. Features of WALDES Zipper ① No plating is applied to the elements. As a result, the zipper ages along with leather and denim. This creates a distinctive vintage feel that no other company offers. ② There is a wide range of specifications available for sliders, open stops, end stops, and more, making it possible to choose fittings without compromise to suit the product. ③ Cotton in particular has a unique texture and material feel, and is an environmentally friendly product. ④ The material feel of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s is well suited to modern vintage fashion. ⑤ We accommodate small quantities, many varieties, and short lead times. ⑥ Samples can be provided quickly from as few as one piece, and for full production as well, we respond in a short lead time after consultation with the customer. ⑧ We can also accommodate custom-colored cotton tape (from 60 m), original pull tabs, stamping, and more.
3. Product notes ① Compared with polyester, cotton tape is inferior in friction resistance, tensile strength, and colorfastness. In addition, depending on the environment and conditions, the product dimensions may shrink. ② Cotton tape has a stiffness grade of 3 or lower. Please note that migration of color, fading, and similar issues may occur due to processing, washing, friction, sweat, and light. ③ Cotton tape may show slight color variation depending on the dye lot. ④ Due to the shape of the elements, metal zippers may have different slider smoothness at the top and bottom for two-way open and W specifications. ⑤ The AG and BK specifications of the elements are not plated; they have undergone a special chemical treatment. During sewing, the element color may transfer to the fabric. In addition, the surface may change due to friction or after-processing. ※ Zippers come in various types depending on the application. Please select the appropriate type after considering the required strength and durability for the item in which it will be used. We cannot accept any responsibility for defects caused by after-processing by the customer, so please use the product with this understanding. Also, if after-processing is performed, changes or effects may occur on the zipper depending on the processing method, chemicals, dyes, and environment. Please be sure to conduct tests before use.
Is it possible to change the top stop of the WALDES zipper to a box stop?
It is possible. When placing your order, please write in the remarks field which zipper you would like to have the top stop changed to a U-shaped stop. An additional charge will apply due to the change. We will inform you separately of the payment for the price difference.
Is it possible to purchase only the slider for WALDES zippers?
You can purchase them only if they are to be attached to WALDES zippers purchased from us. Please contact us via the inquiry page.
What color is the slider on the nickel silver metal zipper?
It is nickel-colored. Nickel silver has a slight yellow tint like a 500-yen coin, but nickel color is a whitish, bright silver color.
Can the slider color be changed?
Yes, it is possible. As a general rule, if nothing is specified, metal zippers come with sliders in the same color as the element, and other zippers come with sliders in the same color as the tape color. (Sliders with an attached pull tab are available in metal color only.) The slider color shown on the product page is for reference, so the color will vary depending on the zipper you order. If you would like to change the slider color, please note it in the order memo.
Which slider should I choose if I want to attach a pull tab later?
Please choose a CA, ZA, ZF, or other slider that can be fitted with a pull tab afterward. The difference between CA and ZA/ZF is whether a pull tab can be attached from the base or not. Pull tabs are sold by various manufacturers, but the specifications determine whether they can be attached to CA or ZA, so please check carefully. The color options for retrofit sliders are limited to metal colors only.
Is it possible to order only the slider for a YKK zipper?
Basically, we are unable to accept orders for sliders only, but it is possible to arrange them if they are ordered together with a chain zipper or used for a zipper previously purchased from APPARELX. In that case, please contact us via the contact form on the Support Page with the type and size of the YKK zipper you purchased, the slider color, the slider product number, and the quantity. We will reply after confirmation.
I would like to order a two way separator zipper with different sliders on the top and bottom. How should I do that?
If you note the desired upper and lower sliders in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will change them to the sliders you want and arrange the order accordingly.
Is it possible to obtain the comprehensive zipper catalog "FASTENING Senka"?
The booklet-type FASTENING SENKA has now been discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it can be downloaded from YKK's website, so please check there. https://www.ykkfastening.com/japan/catalog/
How should I choose between sliders with locks and without locks?
You can determine this from the second letter of the slider product number. “A” = automatic lock (the slider locks automatically when you let go of the pull tab, and unlocks when you pull the pull tab) “F” = non-lock (a slider with no locking function, regardless of the position of the pull tab on the body) “N” = notch lock (a notch is attached to the shoulder of the body, and it locks when opened by bringing the chain against the shoulder) “W” = reversible (pull tabs are attached to the front and back, so it can be opened from either side) “U” = reversible (an automatic slider with one pull tab that can move along the rotating rail and can be opened and closed from either the front or back.)
I want to place an order for a color or slider that is not listed on the product page. What should I do?
If you enter your preferred color and slider in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will make the change and arrange it for you.
I selected Lead Time Priority (custom production), but what does custom length processing from longer stock mean?
As for zipper inventory, products other than 2CHC concealed zippers are not stocked in the exact length you specify. For made-to-order production, we can process a longer zipper to make it, which shortens the delivery time but increases the unit price. If you want it processed from longer stock and need it right away, please select "Delivery priority (higher unit price)."
