It holds your jeans together, saves your jacket from flapping open, and occasionally betrays you at exactly the wrong moment. But where did the humble zipper come from? In this episode, we trace the zigzagging path from 19th-century “clasp lockers” to the smooth-gliding zippers we know today. You’ll meet the inventors who couldn’t quite get it right, the guy who finally did, and the fashion world that didn’t quite know what to make of it. From military uniforms to Hollywood red carpets, the zipper’s story is full of snags, slides, and surprising style.
