    There is a little tooth that sticks out that keeps it from opening that is more than likely broken off. If they are newer, take them back to the store. Lots of places will take back defective zippers on jeans, especially if they are from a reputable store that has a good defective item return. You can only try.

    The best way to keep it up is to zip it up and get a sturdy safety pin and run it through the fabric part of the zipper just a tad bit below the part that brings the teeth of the zipper together at the top. I is a hassle, I know, especially when you need to get them off to use the bathroom, but if you really like the jeans, then that is about the only choice without taking them to a tailor to have the zipper replaced if the store where you bought them won't return them.

    It pays to know in advance about return policies of stores when defective items are purchased from them. A zipper should last years if it is good quality to begin with.

    Get a small safety pin, and hold the zipper on. If you just recently purchased the jeans, take them back to the store, and see if you can exchange them. All zippers have a built in locking system that takes effect when the Metal zipper tongue is placed as far down as it will go. There may be a malfunction with those particular jeans.

    When you get the zipper up, place a small safety pin in the loop so that it won't go down the crevice. Or try a small zipperpull. It may be more manly for you to put a zipper if you are a man than a zipper pull. but with the safety pin this will stop the zipper from going down.

    in case you're folding down the metallic tab on the actual of the zipper so it lays flat on the zipper and it nonetheless opens, it truly is incorrect. attempt returning the denims to the save, in the event that they gained't replace them, verify with a dry cleaners on changing it.
