CLIX Zippers originated in Canada during the mid-1930’s.

In 1963 a small UK factory was set up and proved very successful, so much so that, in November 1970, Lightning Fasteners bought the company and, from that point onward, the heavy CLIX zipper featured on our jackets all through the 1970’s. Lightning Fasteners closed in 1980 and CLIX with it.

2003 saw the name revived by Lewis Leathers and we have manufactured them ever since.

Lightning Fasteners T-shirt and badge also available.
