I'll Lock Up

It always annoyed me that the original zip pullers on the sleeves of my Irvin coastal command got twisted and the zips always opened as a result. This canting meant that the locking mechanism on the slider no longer worked. I removed the pullers and replaced them with a ring with paracord and now everything works as it should. Maybe less repro, but it works.
