Spanish term
Tapeta (Jean Zipper related)
Spanish to English
Other
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Ok, I found this term that is Tapeta. If "Vista del cierre" is Front Fly in the jeans, the other part that is behind but still affixed to the other side of the zipper is "tapeta", but I haven't found it anywhere.

"Fly shield: This is a clean finished piece (self finished or faced) that resembles the shape of the facing described below. The fly shield is placed on the garment's wrong side such as to provide stability and a protective shield between the zipper teeth and human skin. In simple words, when you unzip a fly front zipper, the fly shield is the back portion that opens along with the zipper providing a flap-like structure behind one of the zipper teeth rows. "
