An Idiot's Guide on How To Screw Up a Hookless Zipper

[ties70]

Hookless or Talon?

The riveted zippers on B3's were probably Talon. The name Hookless is used on reproductions due to copy wright.

Sorry,

we are talking about "B-3 jackets with riveted zippers" in general here, though what I have in mind is of course a repro jacket with a repro zipper...a Waldes repro zipper ...featuring the Talon shaped puller, only labelled Waldes.

I should have been more precise...

Thanks,

It’s difficult to read, the first four letters are blurred, but I reckon the last four on that B-3 are ‘...less’.
