I'm talking about the zipper teeth on my planned denim motorcycle jacket. The denim is grey, but the zipper teeth are brass. Wawak has aluminum zippers long enough for the front, however none short enough for the sleeve vents and pockets. Zipperstop has aluminum zippers in the sizes I'd like, but I've never ordered from them before.
I googled some images of grey denim jackets. Most have black zippers with black teeth. I spotted this lovely and think the silver looks pretty good. I might try to knock this off in a future version of this pattern. It doesn't look too hard to do - except for maybe the quilted sleeve caps.
As a reference, I pinned in a couple of zippers I had on hand. If I do go with brass, I think the lighter-colored tape looks better than black.

Hmm...now I like the brass. Ugh! I've already cut out the fabric so this jacket is happening. I just have to decide. Do gold and grey go together? Would silver be too obvious a choice?
Waaaah. What do you think? =)
