Broken zipper pull on new Rainbow Country leather jacket

[jboulukos]

I think I unzipped this chest pocket zip about 15 times and it broke. Can anyone suggest a repair or replacement in the same style?
Thank you,

You still have one ball left on the chain so you could join them like a cheap ball chain necklace with those metal clips

Update….i actually fixed it with a small multi tool. Took it off at the zipper…opened the last ball (they can be pryed open) then closed the ball onto the tiny metal piece….then reattached it to the zipper and pinched it tight. It’s safe to say that I won’t be touching this zipper pull at all in the future! Thank you for the replies.

Indeed, it is better not to touch it once again.

The quality of these repro's doesn't come close to the quality of the originals from the 30s.

Yeah. I emailed the seller from Japan and he said the “breast pocket” was for decoration and should not be used….and to handle the zipper with care.

The repair job is awesome. Thanks for posting I am gonna do the same to mine fixes.

The customer service is awful...

I would still use the chest pocket despite the failing zipper. Which jacket is this, the Hercules or the Speedster or Highwayman?

If you are looking for parts & repair sets, that's a good address. Of course these are repros.

It depends on how you handle the ball & chain zipper. It should never be pulled by the chain, but always by the attachment.
