Canuck zipper replacement help

[Dbrn]

Hi leather maniacs,

The zipper tape holding the zipper pin on my Aero Hooch Hauler has broken for the second time (picture below in case I'm not describing it right), and I'm sick of it! It's CXL FQHH, and I think the combo of the stiff, heavy leather with the small and finicky Aero zipper is just too much for Aero's construction method. Since the zipper is so annoying anyway, I'm considering paying for a full zipper replacement, both to avoid this problem in the future and for better zipping. I'm in Canada, so I'm wondering if any fellow canucks can recommend a good Canadian option for this job? If not, could I hear some of the places others here recommend for such work?

Thanks!

I had some leather work done by Boundaries now AWL leather in Vancouver. Very reasonable prices.

Your uploaded image did not work for me. Perhaps you can do the work yourself. Sometimes it could be not hard at all. Also, please remember to use a good quality #10 zip for heavier jackets. YKK makes a very good nickle plated one. I love the old school 40s Talons and 50s Conmars. PM me if you have more questions. I have done this several times by hand which I think is the best method.

Thanks photo, but I'm sticking with pros on this job. I know my limits!
