I went to four stores in the South Seattle area looking for a zipper to fix a jacket.

Not one place had anything acceptable. The closest was small pocket zippers. There used to be a time you could go to a store and touch things, even purchase them outright.

Even online ordering is not easy. I just want a YKK #5 style antique brass zipper with pull and locks, 3 foot length tape.

If you know of anyplace let me know, please. #sewing

Aren't zippers usually a big hassle to replace?
@FritzAdalis I have heard that but I don’t think this one will be too hard. The zipper in place is well spaced and wide that I should be ok but want some extra zipper tape to practice with before moving to the jacket.
