My Leguna Seca jacket zipper at the bottom is not working.  Does anyone have a suggestion on replacement zipper? Where to get it from and who can fix?  Any info on your experience with this or similar issue is appreciated.

Where you located? The Dainese D-stores in the U.S. replace zippers, also, http://anthonysleatherworks.com clueless on cost. Most boot repair shops can do the repair also. There is an old school shoe repair shop that I take my work boots to and they repair all leather goods.

In order of ruggedness: chunky plastic, followed by metal, small plastic and last, plastic coil.

This, if you can find it.

I think that, by definition, any shoe repair shop is going to be 'old school'.  ;D

Thx for the advice.

I am in Ohio and I will try to find out the D store you mentioned (not familiar with it)

How is it not working?  This might be a DIY project like when my pants to jacket zip kept splitting throughout the ride.  I carefully squeezed each side w/ pliers and now I'm good.

But yeah Dainese is legendary for repairing their gear... I remember reading a moto mag in the 90's where they did on-the-fly repairs at races and track days.
