Zipper repair

[James MacMillan]

I recently ordered the Nightstalker™ Nylon Cargo Sporran from Jerry at Stillwater and I love it!! I have worn it everyday since I got it in the mail (two days after I ordered it!)

It is superb! The traditional look and zippered and/or Velcro pockets make it fully functional. As with every product from Stillwater, it is a high value, low cost item!

Here’s my problem. The zipper on the outermost (flap) pocket has become fowled. I did a google for “zipper repair” and found the the below site:

http://www.aceleathergoods.com/store/zipper.htm

I tried that method, but no luck. I am hesitant to start taking the sporran apart to attempt to fix the zipper. I’m sure that I could replace the zipper, but I thought I would post a question here to see if anyone has a solution.

I will also send Jerry, at Stillwater, an e-mail to see if he has any suggestions.

Not being able to use that top pocket takes much of the ease of use from the sporran, as that is where I keep loose change.

I sent an e-mail to Jerry at Stillwater, and he offered me several solutions! Jerry sure is a class act. I can, and will continue to, recommend his products to anyone!

I agree email jerry. Unless you got it off ebay where he sells (clearly labels them too) seconds. Jerry is a real class act and great guy.

I panicked for a moment when I saw the word zipper in this forum!

Heavy sigh of relief!

You guys have forgotten your Highland Wildlife 101 class.

As I remember that lecture, it went something like this:
"The zipper is the small grey furry thing that is used to bait the trap with so that you can catch the snipe, and then you use the song of the captured snipe to induce the haggis to get within arrow range."

Right?
