copper1k Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Can anyone recommend a reputable place to have a zipper replaced? Type: Joe Rocket Ballistic with a busted crotch zipper. Unfortunately there is no funny story to attach just worn out. -I have a no safety pin rule so those suggestions will be dismissed promptly- No sharp points by the tender parts.

warpspeed Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 try your local dry cleaners....I had a zipper fixed on a fancy snowboard coat awhile back. If they can't, then theres places you can send it off to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessPratt Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 There is a shoe repair shop over on the corner of Karl and Morse road that I went to for my leathers. I think the name is something like...."bests shoe repair" or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I know you're in sunbury so check out the old school shoe/seamstriss shop across from the Westerville library on State st. If they can't help you head to the place Ms. Pratt said. ^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copper1k Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 it can be fixed at home by a pair of skilled hands. No skilled hands at my house. I may be able to stitch a seam closed but a zipper, I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
