I had LeatherCareUSA put a #8 YKK metal zipper on a heavy steerhide Aero. The original zipper had gotten messed up down at the cloth part of the bottom of the zipper where you start it. This was a few years ago. It's so much easier to zip now, very happy with it. I think it was about $85...
Having some second thoughts about selling ... and not because of Hide'n'seek's info, although that's interesting. I didn't know that deer suede was a thing.

I'll add those measurements later today, but as Will Zach stated, it's harder to determine the fit of shearling jackets based on measurements.
