How to add a Zipper to Leather!

- Adding a zipper to leather (hand stitched). This piece will become the front section of the next Brando biker wallet (see link below). My good friend Zach Brown over at Zeebee Leather is always ribbing me about my dread of doing zippers in leather. If done well, it appears simple in the end, but the process to get there involves more than most realize. Here’s an example of what it takes to add a 5” zipper to leather. How do you like those pink scissors?

I've been quoted 50 bucks EACH to put in a zipper in my pair of 20 hole, knee high doc martens. I'm a proficient sewer. And I've been watching tons of videos on how to put zippers in boots. I don't have an industrial sewing machine. So I've been wracking my brain on how to do this myself.
Then I found this video.
I am going to dye them black (they are sky blue) and attempt to put a zipper in. I will buy these tools and I bet it'll work a treat! I'll let you know! Thanks again!
👍
I have been looking for a video on how to do this and loved yours. Quick, succinct and for those of us with ADHD, no distracting voices (also loved that a lot was in fast motion so I didn't get bored). Subscribing to your channel for sure, thanks!
Perfect!!! Thank you for that!!!
Здравствуйте. Я из России. Очень нравятся ваши ролики. Жаль что нет новых.
Greetings from Japan! I am a great admirer of your work. Happy to see more video content to go along with the fantastic photos. The article in the Virginian-Pilot was outstanding!
Robert Yamen I appreciate that!
I loooove your videos so much! And I can feel your good sense of humor in some details!:)
Aw! Thank you for that! And thanks for watching!
Great tutorial video, do more of these as quick fillers. I’d love if you posted daily videos, I really look forward to new videos from you!
Thanks!! Unfortunately, every one minute of finished video takes about 4-5 hours to film and edit. Seems seamless and quick, but it’s days. Sometimes a 15 second clip will take 3+ hours
Great video. That’s was enormously satisfying to watch.
Aaw. Thanks!!
New subscriber here, Great video loaded with details. Professional look among with all small details . Thank you for your effort doing such kind of video.
Thanks for watching!!
I Love your video's and work!!
Minnie Komperda thank you for the support!!
Any chance we can get a saddle stitching tutorial? I know there are plenty of videos out there, but they all seem just a bit different.
Awesome content as usual
Done. Check out the channel.
What is the lanyard with clips attached to the iron? I like all the squares and jigs you use....Thanks for sharing!
Jeffrey Joseph ha! That’s one of the tripod weights. Occasionally the camera rig is suspended off to a side... and the tripod needs weights to keep from tipping. That’s all.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia para mejorar en mi acabado.
🤘🤘🤘
Holy Mother of God ! Where on earth did you get that gigantic pricking tool ?
I had it made. By Kevin lee
I was really surprised to see you here coughing up all your secrets. Then again, your beyond competition at this point and probably have more work than you can handle. Can't tell ya how much I appreciate the time, effort, and info fella. Love the outlook.. No idea how you got your Chinese punches so sharp! Ps, double sided adhesive tape will keep that zipper in place until stitched ;)
Thanks!! And thanks for watching
I also drop the Mic after every task.
Without instructions it's more an episode of Mr Rogers than an actual tutorial. Only they still explained a few things.
😆 enjoy the neighborhood with mr Rogers
is that surgery knife?
love your works, thx for sharing this tutorial, i really need this topic
Yes. Surgical scalpels. 👍
Was kann ich machen, wenn ich Kleber auf mein Gürtel oder Tasche bekommen habe?
Not sure
Alright...gotta ask...what are you using on your canvas to burnish your edges soooo beautifully? Your edge work is phenomenal!!!! I've used everything and am getting better, but yours seems to go on much easier. BTW...I hate zippers too!
Bruce West time. Patience. Canvas. Wood. And it’s always different depending on the leather.
Love your work! Am new to leather and am learning a lot from watching you. Question what tool is that you are using to remove the leather to thin it down. I have not seen that type of skiver if that’s what it is. Thanks for your time!
A skiving knife
Where to buy the skiving knife that you are using?

Now THAT is a pricking iron! :)
I never knew the stitching holes got punched right through the zipper tape. I always thought it would tear.
Are there leather specific zippers, or can any zipper be used?
Any zipper. Yep.
What’s the glue you use? Is it contact glue or hide glue? Thanks for sharing!
Barge. See my other videos. I explain it all in detail
@@MasconLeather Thanks very much!
My I ask you about your stroping piece for sharping tools is it made one the fuzzy face? Or smooth face?
Imp brand. Red devil I think. 2 layers. In cordovan leather. The other a THICK canvas
@@MasconLeather plz make a vidio learn us how to make this
I show it in a lot of my videos. It only takes about 20 seconds. Do both sides of blade on canvas first. Flip and repeat on leather side.
bro that fucking pricking iron is massive, like what
Custom made. 🤘
Good!
Thank you, sir !
Fantastic, although it doesn't appear 'simple'....but your time in rank must be considered. I've done three zippers and suffered through them all.....git'in better, but not looking forward to #4... Thanks for sharing and I did learn some more. Anaco, Anz.
Thanks! They’re a pain but get gradually easier
