SOS

I need your help finding a separating zipper, 20 to 22 inch length, in dark gray.  I am getting ready to start making this jacket.

The fabric I am going to use is a faux leather/shearling/sherpa type that has a contrasting dark grey fur that will show in the exposed seams and of course the collar.  The right side is a golden brown shade.  I have a brown separating zipper with metal and molded brown zipper teeth, but it is a dark brown.  I went to Zipperstop and found the limited selection of colors which I can easily get at JoAnn's. 

Your help is most appreciated.

  1. Pacific Trim likely would have one, they have every kind of zipper ever.
    Their website is horrible, but you can call them: (212) 279-9310

  2. Try atlantathread.com. They have a pretty large selection, and a pretty good website, too.

  3. Not sure if you got my email, couldn't comment earlier. Have you checked ebay.

  4. Darn it, and I was in downtown Los Angeles just yesterday. There is a store closer to me that carries a ton of different zippers. I'll check there tomorrow.

  6. I think I got customized separating zippers from this source - www.zippersource.com though they were more expensive than some other sources I found after ordering. www.sewtrue.com, www.stanssewingsupplies.com, and www.ghees.com

  7. And there's always a trip to Floyd :) They do have a pretty good selection of oddball zippers, but I'd call if you wanted to go to make sure they have the color/type you want.

  8. There is a fabric / notions store in Vancouver that has an amazing selection of zippers. Not sure if they ship but you might want to try them if you don't have luck elsewhere.

  9. I really like Cleaner's Supply (http://www.cleanersupply.com/). Their prices are extremely reasonable and shipping to the continental US is only $3.83 for orders less than $100. Customer service is excellent and they offer free returns. NAYY
