Eastman Zipper Replacement

[Xopher]

Im located in Pennsylvania and I have been looking for someone to replace the zipper on my ELC B-6 with a NOS Talon zipper. The two sheepskin shops in my area looked at it and said they couldn't do it, so I think I have to mail it out to have the job done. Can anyone recommend a place that can do a good job replacing my zipper for me? Thanks all.

Call Chas. DiSipio at History Preservation Associates, he's the Rep. for Eastman the USA.
And.. he too is in PA.
A great person, and he always goes above and beyond for Eastman customers.

I agree that Charles at HPA would be the first guy to contact. If he is not able to help you out I would talk to the folks at Great Leather:

I have not used them personally but I have heard very good things about them and Carrie at Thurston Brothers once recommended them to me For a zipper replacement.
