You may be interested in my comments on zips taken from my 20 page fashion-era.com Vintage section. Zipper History - Invention of the ZipSchiaparelli liked new things as well as new ideas. In 1933 she promoted the fastener we call the zip or zipper. In the UK we are more likely to refer to this fastener as a Zip and in the USA the term Zipper is more usual. The metal zip had been invented in the Victorian era as far back as 1891 by W Litcomb Judson of Chicago USA. He patented a clasp locker system of fastening constructed from a series of hooks and eyes with a clasp lock for closing. By 1893 the zipper was in production. But it was clumsy as it needed to be locked tooth by tooth. It was slow to catch on until refinements were gradually introduced.
