 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hope someone can help.... I seem to have lost a zip pull off of my jacket and i'm looking to replace it with something similar to the ones pictured below, only in green. Can't see to find a replacement anywhere though, does anyone know where I can source one?
TIA

Any decent outdoor store should have them - is there a Cotswold near you?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Back in the early 80's I had a great pair of Reusch gloves that were incredibly warm, I had them held together with good old Duck Tape for 2 seasons. And I was skiing probably 50 or so days a season back then. Nothing like a bit of mend and make do!

You know it makes sense.

I just use thin nylon static cord (get from any climbing shop, 2mm is fine), loop it with a figure of 8 knot for the grip then cut and melt the ends to prevent fraying. A drop of glue on the knot helps too. Look almost as good as the originals.
