I have this exact satchel in scotch grain - these are incredible. They’re truly heirloom quality. Good luck with the sale OP - that’s a great price for the level of craftsmanship you get with Clegg.
Thanks everyone.
I took a chance and went to a local cobbler. He took a look at it and was about to recommend a leather tailor, but then thought “I might be able to try something if you can leave it with me overnight”.
So I did. He replaced the zipper itself, leaving the teeth/tapes in...
That’s a good idea actually. The issue seems to be with teeth on the tape being slightly loose - they don’t align properly to close when zipped… not sure it’s an issue with the zipper pull but worth a try to see if it helps
Hey Loungers,
TL;DR - does anyone have a recommendation for someone who is good at replacing zippers on RMC J-24 in the EU?
Long version
The new fit J-24 I bought back in June no longer zips shut. The teeth seem to have been loose from the get go and are now so misaligned that it just...
Hey folks…
I need some advice. I picked up a new fit J24 recently from an EU based retailer.
The zipper. God… the zipper. I started having issues with it pretty quickly - it seems that a number of teeth are misaligned so it tends to unzip itself half way up the zipper.
In the meantime...
I’ve actually picked up one of these:

It’s unlined and basically a chore coat (sort of) with the same hairy rough out as Merv’s coat above.
I’m extremely happy with mine - I...
It’s not a perfect fit - to be fair they’re right that it’s a compromise … but it works well enough to be viable. Most importantly there is no strain on the snaps etc.
One final very important point though … jackets vary! And there have been multiple variations of the old fit too… so check in...
I’ll take some pics tomorrow of it fitted - the corners of the collar are not an exact fit for the interior of the mouton sleeve (if you know what I mean), but the difference is mainly the collar of the jacket being slightly smaller so it still works.
On the new fit 44 the collar fits about...
Hi TFL.
A very quick PSA for anyone with an old fit RMC J24 who may want a mouton collar.
As we know RMC sell a mouton collar for their new fit J24 (as a replacement for the J24L). I recently received an old fit J24 in sz46 which fits slimmer than the new fit J24 in sz44. I also have a...
A quick note to thank BloodEagle for the smooth transaction here - a fantastic seller and all round stand up guy!
Secondly … interesting point for anyone with an old fit J24 who might want a mouton collar….
I also have the new fit in sz44 (which is much bigger in the shoulders and arms) …...
I have this model in black - these CRN/Renegades are a great jacket. I get far more compliments wearing my Vanson than any of my others. Vanson know how to make a great fitting pattern.
Good luck on the medical front - this is a steal on a jacket that’s often out of stock.
