I am about to make the new Marcy Tilton Jacket V8620 out of a patterned denim.

I would like to buy a fancy zip. I have heard that Riri make some really funky ones but have not had any luck Googling to find them.


Help Please

Try zipperstop.com or on Ebay. I haven't used them but have seen glowing reports here, I think.

The Sewing Place I ordered from them and was very pleased. Don't know if they ship to UK.

Riri zippers are the most gorgeous things ever. Pacific Trimmings in NYC will make them up to in the size and style you want. Not cheap, but like jewelry. They have them on their website but it is a bit confusing. I'd pick out what I wanted and give them a call.

Clare, here is a stockist in London. Not used them, I just have them on my favourites because one day I want to be able to afford to buy one of the multi colour zips at the bottom of the page.

Thank you all very much.

Yorkshire Lass, that is a great site and means I can make my jacket much more quickly if I don't have to wait for post from US.
