PostPosted: 20:46 - 24 Jun 2006    Post subject: 2 Piece Leathers question Reply with quote

I've just bought myself a new jacket, got home and discovered the zip to connect them to my trousers doesn't match - not only is it a completely different size, it does up the other way too!!
Is it possible to swap the zips?
Could i get a local tailor/drycleaner/saddler do it?
Would it be better to swap the zip on the jacket, or the jeans to match, or doesn't it matter?
Thanks.

Sorry, maybe i didn't phrase it correctly.
It's only the jacket that's new, the leather trousers i already had.
The jacket is made by a diffferent company from the leather trousers, so i guess technically it's not a 2 piece suit.

A problem I had with 2-piece leathers is that you need to be the same size top and bottom.

When I got my HG leathers there was about 2 inches of spare zip on the jacket. I think it's ok except the tarty line doesn't match all the way up now.

the fact it is different size and make gives a problem. How about getting a zip that matches and taking it to some one who can sew and getting them to sew it on.

If you think about it the circumference of the jacket zipped up and trousers have to be the same so a new zip won't do it.

I just bought a scott pro jacket and scott pro trousers and the zips didnt match, I took them to the local cobblers and paid for them to put the zip off the trousers onto the jacket.

This saved me fannying around taking them back and getting them changed etc.
