      You would expect it to be very different to baby calf since baby calf is suppose to be really soft and cordovan is tough as hell.

              dont think they made zippers themself^ i believe it just changed the puller like most designer does.

                Companies will make custom pulls for their zippers if you order large enough quantities. Riri for sure does it.

                    Yeah, that'd be tough to tell potentially. I know that the Prada RiRi zips still have that classic RiRi look to them. I'm sure there are a lot of zipper options in terms of companies that'll do custom pulls with smaller volumes still done just at a higher cost per piece.

                    With the advent of the interwebz, it's incredible what kind of things you can get done custom. Hangers, stamps, brands, zipper pulls, tags are just the tip of the iceberg and anyone can get them!

                        unless someone else has already received boots ordered from SS11 I can let you know if they're excella zips hopefully sometime next week.

                        Viridi-Anne uses customised excella zips.

                            i noticed these zippers for the first time this spring.

                            Also, I bought a reversed pig leather bag from last year and it had Lampo zippers. Not sure if these have changed or not but they are fucking nice.

                              It is just a logo on Excella. Few zipper makers have capacity to produce massive high class zippers.

                                Can anyone tell me the available heel heights for the mens back zips?
                                From what I can gather there are two heights available, is the sole type reflected in any codes?
                                TIA
