Review on πŸ”— White Sport Separating Zipper - Coats Thread & Zippers F4318-WHT, 18 inches by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A cheap zipper saved an expensive coat.

I managed to repair an expensive winter coat by removing the old zipper and replacing it with this one. It takes extra work to carefully sew the torn layers on the front of the coat, but it turned out just fine. I learned from my mistakes and made sure I pinned the two sides together first while it was zippered to make sure they lined up correctly, and then unzipped to sew the sides apart. I really like the quality and weight of sports jacket zippers and it's hard to find zippers that long in stores. It turned out to be slightly better than the original zip that came with the coat. So far there have been no problems with this new zipper.

Pros
  • Zippers
Cons
  • So far so good
