I went to four stores in the South Seattle area looking for a zipper to fix a jacket.
Not one place had anything acceptable. The closest was small pocket zippers. There used to be a time you could go to a store and touch things, even purchase them outright.
Even online ordering is not easy. I just want a YKK #5 style antique brass zipper with pull and locks, 3 foot length tape.
If you know of anyplace let me know, please. #sewing
