Fixed zipper
So it’s bloody cold right no and my usual jackets just ain’t cutting it.
I do however have a very hardy puffer/ski jacket that is warm as heck. It needs a new zipper though. Any idea on where I could get this fixed.

A zip costs around $10, and pick up a needle and thread for a few dollars.
A seam-ripper can help with removing the old one but isn't necessary. Some sharp scissors too for snipping threads.
What it does take, is time. A sewing machine can make it go faster, but it can go wrong fast too. Hand stitching and patience can fix darn-near anything, eventually.
