Boot zip repair/replacement
I broke the zip on one of my boots and the local yokel replaced the slider thingy but it doesn't work properly.
Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get the zip replaced?

Pretty much most (if not all) leather joints I would suggest, even check out if you have a saddlery nearby as leatherwork is there bag too.

I keep breaking the handle on the slider thingies. Most of mine now have the split rings off key rings as handles.

I prefer little snap swivels from the tackle box

All fixed mate...took to a saddler in town and he did it in a couple of days. Not perfect cosmetically but pretty good and works a treat.zxsixr03 wrote:Send it to Irena on RATS mate.
