Zippers are basically flexible dovetail joints. Take a look at one when it's done up.

You've got the same interlocking pattern often with fat tips

    I wonder if there's a designer out there exclusively making clothes with zippers for all stitches.

    in all honesty though i've had too many zippers get f'd up in effectively every hoodie and winter jacket i've owned. I need something a bit more reliable. Maybe the answer is human hair thread stitching or cast plates and chain stitching.
