How did I do ? Aero Highwayman Connolly Hide ???

[tytim]

I just picked this up for £260 (around $350), I think it's a 1987/8 in Connolly Hide based on the label and Ailee zipper and its a perfect fit.

Only very slight negative is the zip puller is missing parts on one of the cuff zips, any idea where I might get a replacement ?

Any thoughts from the much more experienced out there ?

Thanks

Tim

In good condition that's a very good price, imo.

Amazon (and other online sellers) have a lot of options for easily attached zipper pulled that would work as a utilitarian option. To get something more like what you have on the other sleeve is trickier. I can only find places selling the full assembly like this - https://zipex.uk/designer-sliders/spiral-zip-sliders-pullers/s7-designer-sliders/no10-ball-chain/ . You could I'm sure have something like that fitted if the right size, though if the current one works fine and it's just the puller you need, less hassle to clip the chain off one of these, and then attach it with something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L3NG1SX?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 Or, I guess, find a cheaper puller that just slips on the existing assembly and match both sides that way - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...d_r=38151dbf-49c3-44fc-af1e-73b067d61989&th=1

Unless you have somewhere local that can do it, though, you're gonig to end up with at least a few spares ordering online. Probably not a bad thing, though, if you get regularly into repairing used jacket bits...

Hey Edward, thanks for those links, will come up with a plan
