Any decent remnant shop or a tailor would do it.
Cost about 20 quids to fit a zipper to a pair of troos mibby more mibby less.
It is more expensive as a heavy duty needle/or more care-skill is
required to pierce the leather.

The bit about the leather is redundant if you just want a connector.

But tailor/remnant shop still good.

and Merry Christmas to you too.

Buy a hammer from a tools shop buy a zip from a tailor/seamstress.

Google and try but my guess you'd end up with a miss match. Unless you know the pitch etc.

Take the garments to the shop with you if you can.
I use connectors for my jackets-troos. Hein Gericke used to supply matching zippers but things changed a few years back and pants no longer match all jackets and vice versa. If you ask at one of the HG shops they may be able to help you.
Call and ask.

Facing the same problem the answer I came up with was to just buy a few heavy duty zips and attach them to the clothes. If you've got a few then you can attach them to later clothes you buy and they'll all fit Thumbs Up
