When is zipper day ?

National Zipper Day is celebrated each year on April 29. This day commemorates April 29, 1913, when the patent for the modern zipper was issued. These days, we take the zipper for granted as a lot of clothes we own utilizes this wonderful invention. The term zipper was coined in 1923 by the B.F Goodrich company, though the idea was around since 1851, when Elias Howe invented his ‘Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure’. By 1913, the product had been perfected by Giden Sundback, a Swedish American electrical engineer, and the modern zipper was born. Celebrate #NationalZipperDay by wearing something with a zipper. Perhaps try to sew a zipper on some cloth to fully appreciate the challenge.
