I have had my leather riding jacket for 14 years. I love this jacket. This style is not made any more so the jacket cannot be replaced. The craftsmanship and materials that went into this jacket are far superior to todays standards.

I ride my motorcycle EVERY day, I need this jacket. (I bought a new bike in April 2005 and have 12,061 miles on it) It was 29 degrees F( @ 80mph on the interstae that is equal to about 3 degrees F) on my way to work Thursday, so I really need this jacket.

Anyways- the zipper- It does not stay zipped. I zip it, a little pressure it pops open, then gets stuck open. I fight with it, cuss at it, throw said jacket accross room, jump up and down on it. I get it back to the "unzipped" position, carefully zip it up and like magic it bursts open.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to "fix the zip"??

Having a professional replace the zipper would cost about $55. I need a cheaper solution.
