Cheap zipper repair for coat?

Anyone know someone/somewhere that can replace a coat zipper for cheap? I talked to Midwest Mountaineering, and their quote was $75

Thanks!!

 

Any sewing/clothing repair or alterations shop can replace a zipper for you. That said, I do not know the cost, but Midwest Mountaineering (while a sweet shop) is overpriced in pretty much everything, so I'd hope it would be cheaper than them.

 

There's a small shop in Maplewood Mall that does alterations. They did my sons coat zipper for less then 20 bucks. But he is only 7 and the coat wasn't too big.

 

Look for a local alteration shop. I had a zipper replaced on a hoodie for pretty cheap at a small shop in Andover.

 

I've always used Sew What! when I've needed a garment repair.

Given your location of Saint Paul, it's pretty far for you to come up northwest to Marta's Tailor shop, she does great, fast work for cheap. There is another tailor shop in Andover square that is quick and easy on the pocketbook. Just for reference; I had Marta's replace the zipper on my leather motorcycle jacket with a nice, heavy duty one all for the tune of $24 and she was done in one day!

 

Thanks guys!! The whole zipper will need to be replaced. The Sew What site lists this as $35.

Technically it was Thrifty Outfitters I talked to and not MWM, but it still seemed

 

In Minneapolis, right on Cedar and the parkway (near the new Italian Eatery/Carbone's, Cork Dork etc.) there is an independent lady there named Ann who owns and runs Ann's Tailor which we had do all of the work for our wedding, and my wife uses her for an assortment of other jobs. She is efficient, and competitively priced.

 

My mom fixed mine for me.

 

OP, there you go. Call Ben's mom.

 

PM me, I have her number.

 

Pretty easy to fix diy. What's the matter with it?

 

I just found this yesterday about DIY zipper repair. It might help your situation: http://bit.ly/1ko43nE
I'm going to be performing some preventative maintenance on mu kids' zippers.

 

Is this coat fixed yet? It's getting colder out and it sucks having to hold your coat shut with your hands.

 

Thanks for asking, but I dug out an older winter coat from storage until I get the one in question fixed!

 

Just install velcro in place of zipper.

 

Don't forget to use a bungee cord too!

 

Permanently fused shut with heat is not considered a proper fix for a zipper. Unless you like pullovers.
