Where can I find a zipper that is longer than 36"?

Question

I'm looking for some sort of online store that sells zippers. The kind of zippers that you can work with, sew into things, etc. I'm hoping for something that is 4-5 feet long or 48"-60" long, because I'm making a guitar case for a friend.

Answer 1

Have you considered going to a thrift shop and buying an ugly old sleeping bag that still has an good working zipper??? Or maybe an old overcoat, with a zip out lining. Or some other article?
It might be a little tedious picking it out, but it could be done and might be cheaper than buing new..............
Or maybe you know someone with these items.
Or use maybe two zippers that meet at the top and you could use a small lock to hold close good?

good luck

Answer 2

Here's a site where you can buy zippers by the roll! It comes with several pulls and stops too and the price is pretty decent. http://www.clotilde.com/detail.html?prod_id=2305&criteria=zippers I have shopped at this site many times without any problems.

Answer 3

If you cannot find one anywhere else trying buying a cheap hanging canvas closet , those zippers are really long and the closets themselves are about $10.00 (look for the really cheap ones)
Die you try Googling; zippers?

Answer 4

You'd want something heavy, not in the general material world like "Joann's"
Go to an boating store or awning shop, we buy our stuff from a boating world shop, be ready to pay the price.
