"Your jacket's zip is open close it."

"Your pant's zip is open close it."

Please check.
 
I would say the person's zip is undone, though I would only regard it as worth mentioning in the second case- the first is a matter of preference.
 
In both cases you need a full stop (period) after 'open'.

In AmE, it's a zipper​.
 
In BrE, it would be natural to say "Your jacket zip's undone. Do it up."
 
Growing up in a farming community, I learned, "Your barn door's open!" We didn't care about jacket zippers...
 
"Your zip or zipper is undone do it up."

"Do up your zip or zipper."
 
"Your zip or zipper is undone. Do it up."

For some eccentric reason, there's egg on your chin has the same meaning in BrE.
 
What's a fly then? As in 'zip your fly'.

It's a fly, but we expend an extra word in that statement. We say zip up your fly.
