Zipper Ties

[NJAmerica]

I remember a thread a while back about zipper ties.
Has anyone sent their Gold Tie off to become a zipper one

 

[Diesel]

no but if you find the place let me know. My wife has the zipper tie in black and it works pretty slick..

It costs more to convert it than that craps costs originally! That is if Twin Hill actually fills your order.

It cost me 11.00 to convert it and that included return shipping on the tie from Hamilton Ties in Elkton, VA. Not sure if they are still in business but love the zipper tie, had one at the airlines and it was worth it for the conversion.
I flew a tour with one guy who was going to convert one of his into a clip on, I think it was from Wild Ties or something like that...about the same cost.

I really liked my zipper tie. I never could keep it from slipping down and looking sloppy though. Anybody else have this problem and able to solve it?

Last I looked Tally Ho in MIA had them and I bought my last one from Abbotts uniform in ATL. They are on the north side of the airport across from Buffs (B52's) if you are familiair with that watering hole.

To the feller talking about slippage I have the same problem and have not yet devised a fix but its stilll esier than tying one each time...........

I have a couple of them, and one slips, the other doesn't. Go figure. I tried rubbing some clear wax on the zipper part and it works for awhile. Kinda messy, but it works pretty good.
I always get my zipper ties at the local tie shop at the mall. What are the others?

Got mine at crewgear.com, 14 bucks if I remember right. It does slip a little bit which is a little annoying.

I have a zipper tie from the Stop Over Store (MSP). It doesn't slip at all or look sloppy. That probably doesn't help you guys because it is only in black or blue from them. Maybe try the manufacturer? (Zipperfect)

the stop over an crew gear are great for black tie...but you would need a custom shop to do a gold tie for NetJets. ProTie in Elkton, VA used to do them but I dont know if they are still making them.. I think they are also called Hamilton Ties.
