How do you order Waldes zippers?

Their online catalogue doesn't provide a way to place an order. Is there a US distributor? Thanks!

Why would you order a Waldes zipper when you could order a Talon or a riri instead? I’m not trying to be a smart ass, just curious

I remember Thurston mentioning the Waldes hardware as an upgrade from the standard Talon. Could be very wrong.

My experience with Waldes comes from two heavy CXL Aero jackets and based on that I will avoid them at all costs. To be fair, the size of the zipper (too small) probably played as a big a role as anything. I do agree that they are among the nicest looking reproduction zippers around.

That's probably the case, The Waldes #10 seems very sturdy and would most likely easily handle heavy leathers

Edit: Typo

Thanks for the replies! I was interested in installing their lightning style zipper on an old Irvin. I like RiRi's a lot and have an Eastman Irvin but again, those aren't available for a single order either i suppose.
