In the 1920s, denim pants weren't yet considered cool. In fact, they weren't even referred to as "jeans"-that didn't happen until the '60s. But Talon, already ahead of the curve, had invented a pre-formed wire zipper specially constructed for the heavy-duty, royal-blue fabric that would revolutionize fashion-and the rest of pop culture-just 40 years later, and help cement Talon's brand in the minds of generations of American consumers. Today's Jeans Zipper, all grown up but still an original, has transcended denim to lend style and rugged support to everything from fine wool pants to industrial work wear. If the Jeans Zipper has stayed relevant and fresh, it's partly thanks to Talon's secret weapon: our Formed Wire Scoop, a unique development that trumps the current convention of stamping scoops from flat wire. We make our Jeans Zippers with a high percentage of copper, so they're just as powerful but with smoother, sleeker lines. And our exclusive Automatic Fly Piece Assembly System slices manufacturing and labor costs by speeding up the conversion of continuous chain and by sewing fly pieces automatically. The Jazz age may be long gone, but our innovation is as strong as ever-no wonder premium denim brands love working with Talon.
