Is that a brass zipper on the new jacket on the cover of Empire magazine? If so, that's a first.

Well, the TofD jacket was a Cooper/Wings jacket, and IT had a brass zip, so technically a precedent WAS established back in 1984....

Looks be a smaller gauge antique brass zipper. Left hand pull.

I really like the look of the brass vs. the silver pulls on an Indy jacket anyway. I personally prefer it!

I don't see the big deal about silver vs brass zips if we're talking screen-accurate here. I mean, if you think about it, the brass zips are artificially modified to be brass, while the silver zips were artificially modified to look brass.
