Not only that but they are expensive as all get out. You're local dry
cleaner should be able to fix this stuff.

I had, what I thought was, a bad zipper on my winter jacket. I took it
to mtn soles and they wanted 65 bucks for a new zipper. The jacket was
only $90 new but I love the jacket. It kicks booty for winter. I took
the jacket to my local dry cleaners and he took a pair of needle nose
and slightly pinched the part of the zipper that does the gripping to
connect the two sides and the thing was fixed, no charge.

Then, I needed a new zipper in my wind vest and he put one in for $27
that was much nicer and heavier than the original with a nicer color
scheme.

I feel like this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it in the
archives. I've got a pair of bibs with a small rip in a seam and a
skinsuit with a small hole in the shoulder. The skinsuit's zipper is
also not working. The zipper is really the biggest concern. If anyone
knows of someone local who can fix these kinds of things, please let me
know. I've had work done by Mountain Soles before, but it looks like
they're swamped right now (4 week turnaround). I'm leaving for a week
tomorrow, so I was hoping to have them in someone's hands by then. If
someone with a sewing machine wants to try, I'm willing to compensate
you, I'm not super-picky about it. I just want the zipper to work.
