Zipper repair gave my 11 year old parka a new life.
I found a local guy (Albuquerque) who repairs zippers and luggage and got my best winter coat a new zipper. I've worn the parka for the last 11 winters. It keeps me warm in subzero weather. The Velcro on the sleeve cuffs is a little worse for wear but could be replaced by someone who sews.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a trick to make worn Velcro work better that I can use in the meantime.
Here's to another 11 winters of use. I have other coats but this one is my favorite. #finance source
