    Zipper repair of the thread behind the male insertion pin

    Well... I guess better late than never. I've been a little fixated these last two weeks on this common issue with zippers. After @Raul threat about his Grais jacket (he had to replace half Conmar), I was thinking how hard is to get a unique solution for this problem. For me, replacement is not...

    Help: breakage in vintage Conmar zip

    Help: breakage in vintage Conmar zip

    Raul, I've just read the thread. Luckly, if you enlarged the repaired part you could cut a little, but I wouldn't do it, cause if you get the pin on its actual position (the same gap as teeth), the retaining box will shorten the "excess" of fabric (in this case, millimetres) when you zip up/down...
