Replacement zippers for leather jackets?

[Americanaaa Mark]

I bought a used cafe race by The Flat Head but it came with a broken zipper.

I'm wondering, how can I find out the zipper size and get a replacement ? It doesn't say what size it is on the zipper. It just has an "M" and then an "H4"

Preferably made in USA or Japan and made of solid brass with the same finish as the original. I'm trying to get in contact with The Flat Head but they seem hard to reach and I wont be surprised if they don't respond to my email.

What's broken on it? If the coils are fine, you can just replace the pull or the slide. It could be a easy DIY. There's great video on YouTube explaining how to do zipper repair. A full replacement, I would take to a tailor specializing in leather.

Send it to Alan at Johnson Leathers with the zip you want. He may not have the zip you want but if you do a little leg work and get one he'll get it done for you just right.

Thanks.

I'm gonna take it to my local leather shop once I get the part. It's just one side of the front zipper and is honestly an easy fix. I would do it myself if my sewing machine could handle leather.
