I'm a Lampo fan myself. Best zipper, I think, although the consensus is Riri > Lampo > YKK > MRS. I still don't know who is behind the chunky RY zippers that Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester use - it's a mystery which no one has been able to answer.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

hey asho,
yeah i thought just something like this, but i am not sure what will really happen when i hammer the nails deeper in the shoe. And on another note i dont think that here in Seoul is a cobbler i would trust in this matter.
So i decided to pass them on and see it as another try...haha.
thanks anyway mate!Enviormental freaks, move away! My scarf will travel around the world and back!Comment

Do you mean stuck at the bottom stop when working the slider? Some riris have a kind of lock function that you have to snap/click passed well into the base box before pulling.Originally posted by theetruscan View PostComment

Nope, the lock is nice. I mean that the teeth are more likely to get jammed and also that most of my riri zips have a tendency for the puller to fall sideways, and get jammed that way, engaging the lock mechanism and forcing me to sit and fuck with my zipper for a few minutes.Originally posted by DHC View PostHobo: We all dress up.

CCP actually used riri's in their earlier collections. I'm not sure why they made the switch over to YKK, especially since it seems CCP has only improved in quality over time. Anybody have any insights?Comment

I have found a lot of variance in the quality of riri zippers, including the problems of them getting stuck/not working smoothly. Some are better than others.
I find YKK to be more consistent, even if their best is not as good as riri's best. I wouldn't be surprised if they (YKK) have different quality (and cost) levels.the woman Balmain is wild, casual, explosive cocktail of a sailor and a ballerina

Are you referencing the drug paraphernalia silver components or something else?
As for zippers, YKKs have always held up for me. Never had a zipper pull break or anything like that. RiRi's are definitely nice and have a better, more quality feel to them. For those that have a YKK pull snap off, it's VERY easy to replace the sliders on zippers.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

They do, they have a lot of different ones. Some that even look just like the ones on Rick's boots. There are many places in the garment district that have all of the different YKK types laid out on a big board.Originally posted by tangerine View PostComment

Are the ones on his boots the same as the sneakers? I love those, I'd be tempted to replace some other zippers with those if I could get a hold of them.Originally posted by MikeNouveau View PostComment

Not sure, I only own the boots. I'm sure someone here owns both...Comment
