New zip required

[Belper phil]

Some advice please on where i can get the zip replaced on my all in one Vanucci suit (poor mans Stitch). Purchased from Germany 'Louis de' in 2010.

Out of warranty now and needs to be a quality repair job with the correct type of zip 'ie' seamless or whatever description they give it. It 'bust', as they might say in Yorkshire, near top and now just flaps openly uselessly .

Any thoughts on who to contact UK wise appreciated.

As with Boxer, I've had good results with Lancashire Sports Repairs.

+1 for LSR.

Apparently, LSR is BMW's preferred repairer for warranty work on its clothing.

many thanks

To the collective - really helpful advice and useful contacts.

Derby being the closest, but will phone around all of them and get a price.

Can drop off and pick up locally and funnily enough JB, in Sunderland next week for a few days so may get it done whilst i'm there.

Once again appreciate the heads up and to you all.
