Any ideas as to how or where I can get a replacement zip puller for my leather jacket (very heavyweight zip)?

Question

The metal puller has snapped and so, though the zip itself still functions it's very difficult to open and close as all is left is the body of the puller so you can't get much purchase. I have checked in the phone book for leather jacket repairs but they all seem to specialise in mending tears in the material. The jacket is perfect in every other way and happens to be a favourite - and not very old!

Answer 1

can you run a saftey pin through what is left of the zipper ?? if not try a good shoe repair shop they should be able to hook up up , if not then try a saddle shop ........good luck

Answer 2

Take the jacket to a dry cleaner or tailor who has a good reputation with leather. They can replace the whole zipper. If its a favorite jacket - it's well worth it. I've had my leather jacket since 1989 and I've had the lining and the zipper each replaced 2 times.......

Answer 3

Answer 4

You can go to a Hobby store and even Walmart in the sewing department will have some. They aren't expensive and come in all styles. Good Luck !!!!
