Title: Jacket Zipper pull tab repair Post by: ROBsS4R on October 13, 2008, 05:00:37 PM The Zipper pull Tab has broken on my Dainese Jacket. The sleeve zipper pull tab broke month ago but today the main zipper broke. I am going to repair it redneck style with a Paperclip. Anyone repairs these in the bay area... Same day would be good since I only have one jacket and I ride every day. Title: Re: Jacket Zipper pull tab repair Post by: Speeddog on October 13, 2008, 05:12:47 PM I saw the title, and wondered if you had Dainese. [roll]
I've got a couple of the tabs on my jacket and the fly tab on my pants 'repaired' redneck-style. [laugh] The tabs flapping around in the wind wear thin, then break. Curious to see how it goes on getting 'em fixed. Title: Re: Jacket Zipper pull tab repair Post by: ROBsS4R on October 13, 2008, 05:22:38 PM I saw the title, and wondered if you had Dainese.

They really know how to design gear that fits well. I have not given up on them but I am a bit disappointed unless this is a common issue with all leather jackets ???

My ancient Bates jacket lost two pocket zipper tabs, but I bought it over 20 years ago, and it took a *lot* more miles for them to fail than the Dainese.

I have about 25k miles on this jacket, about 1.5 years old but the sleeve zipper tab broke with in a few months of the purchase. I didn't really care about that since I never touch that zipper but the main one is hard to deal with :-\ Title: Re: Jacket Zipper pull tab repair Post by: desmoquattro on October 13, 2008, 05:43:49 PM Bring 'em in to the D store.

Title: Re: Jacket Zipper pull tab repair Post by: enzo on October 14, 2008, 11:40:17 AM great idea with the key ring. [thumbsup]
