The Plissken jacket is really nice. Functional and bad ass at the same time.Freewheelers Four corners, Double Helix works Unus, Orgueil 4192 workers jacket

I won't sleep if I don't ask (might just not be a UK thing)...
What is a 'pimpstick'?

The NOS number 5 Talon failed me this morning. I had these happen before. The old zips needs extra love when starting the zip. If the pin doesn't go in all the way at the start, this happens. I've also freaked out about it before and done more unnecessary damage. Best is to just pull the jacket together at the bottom end and slowly move the zip down, one teeth at a time. Whew...
Has anybody tried Universal zipper(ykk) from Aero?
I have it on my wool HB. It’s not much different than the Talon. Slightly larger pull. Fine for lighter hides and vic. Probably not for CXL.Has anybody tried Universal zipper(ykk) from Aero?
That particular Talon is hands down the worst. I have that on my red and black wool HB and even on a wool jacket, it’s a nightmare. I would rather put on as many layers as possible to avoid that zipper. Is this what your pull looks like?Elvis and Indian walked into a bar...

I think the problem Is these vintage repro and NOs zips just can’t handle the weight of these hides. Even Stu who uses big ass #10’a has shit luck with old zips. Only way to go with heavy leather is brand spanking new #10 YKK. Pull might not excite but that is the most bomb proof zipper ever made. The jacket will disintegrate before that zipper fails.Aero should give some of us a option like this, install zipper by ourself (with some discount of course)
