** Bob's outfit is literally made of zippers, and nothing else.
** Bob has zippers practically everywhere on his outfit...and one ''on his [[BodyHorror hand]]''.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob's outfit has many zippers but they're all for practically sized and located pockets.
** Bob's outfit has a few zippers, but the artist draws them in a really exaggerated way that makes them stand out.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob's occupation means he needs to have a lot of objects on him at all times, and he stores them in many small zippered pockets.
** Bob is a fashion designer with zippers being his trademark.
** Bob is into [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} bondage]] and the zippers (along with the ropes, chains and whatnots) give [[{{Dominatrix}} his mistress]] full control over his mobility.
* '''Inverted''': Bob's outfit has no zippers on items of clothing where they would normally appear.
* '''Subverted''': It looks like Bob's outfit has a lot of zippers, but they're really just patterns that look like zippers from afar.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Well, some of them are, but the actual outfit still has an impressive amount of absurdly-placed zippers.
* '''Parodied''': Bob's outfit is made entirely of zippers. It accidentally unzips in an awkward place at some point, and HilarityEnsues.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Nobody's sure if they're really zippers or just patterns. Canon evidence seems to sway wildly from one to the other at times.

* '''Discussed''': "All right, time to get some new clothes!" "Are you going to be like a badass video game character, and cover them up with random zippers?" "...Probably not."
* '''Conversed''': "Oh wow, look at this new character. Hey Alice, I bet you can't count all the zippers on his coat!"
* '''Implied''': Bob steals a train bound to an enemy uniform factory. It has one train car of cloth and three just full of zippers. We never get to see the assembled uniforms.
* '''Deconstructed''': One of Bob's many zippers snags on something as he flees from a monster of some sort, and he is caught because of it.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Bob's zippers are all pinned down so that they won't snag on anything at a bad time.
** Bob detaches one of his zippers and uses it to "unzip" the monster. Bob's zippers are beyond awesome.
** Bob's zippers are all fully functional and allow him to detach parts of his outfit that are [[ClothingDamage damaged]], caught on something, or otherwise obstructing his movement. It also makes for a nice [[TheCoatsAreOff entrance]] to a big fight.
* '''Played For Laughs''': [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bob the grandmaster tailor]] is the [[UltimateBlacksmith only one who can work with]] the incredibly protective {{unobtainium}} and is obsessed with zippers. While his equipment is perfectly functional they can't get him to go without zippers, let alone putting a reasonable amount.
* '''Played For Drama''': Those zippers aren't for the clothes but cut to accommodate them without further irritation. [[BodyHorror They're on Bob's skin and holding it together.]]
