ZIPPERS:

Another slim pickings letter! And at the very end! Zippers were one thing I could come up with. Finding zippers on things besides pants and other things that regularly have one.

I don't know how I missed this, but did anyone have jeans with ankle zippers? I have a feeling I might not have fit into a pair of these, since I'm short and almost always have to roll up the cuffs of my pants. I don't know how would I have done this with zippers at the ankle.

Ankle zippers came to my mind after reading Something Borrowed. Rachel, unlike Darcy, was not allowed to have the jeans with the ankle zippers (or Forenza sweaters). Again, I seemed to have missed the ankle zippers.

I seem to recall  binders with zippers, though I never had these. My guess is that I never saw them at stores much or didn't see others using them. These may have made me want one. 

As with velcro shoes, I'm pretty sure I never had shoes with zippers. Not sure if I ever saw others with zipper shoes, either.

Anyone recall these toys that included a zipper, button, and snap?

 

Zipper, incidentally, was once yet another trademarked name that is mistaken for being generic.

What else had zippers then, do you recall?
