Fixing Coat Zips

Hi, the slider part of my zip broke today on my coat. I really like the coat and I can't be bothered to move my gaming patches to another coat so wondered if anyone knows how to fix it? Been searching on the internet for a new slidy bit in the hopes I'll be able to ram it's difficult to find the right size. Cut a slider of some old tattered jeans but it was too small for the teeth. Any ideas?

What are gaming patches?

PostRe: Fixing Coat Zips by **Denster** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 5:17 am

What they release online to fix bugs in games.

But they are on his jacket...

But he isn't a pirate...

How do you know?

PostRe: Fixing Coat Zips by **Moggy** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:24 am

He doesn't say "arrrr".

PostRe: Fixing Coat Zips by **1cmanny1** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:30 am

They don't always say that. He could be an internet pirate. And gaming patches sound nerdy, so he probably is.

Nah, I'm neither a pirate of the sea or internet.

Nah? Narr? arrrr? :shock:

Still want to know what gaming patches are.

They are various insignias from games sown on to his jacket (Like his MGS Fox Hound one, right T?)

Seriously Manny, how the hell you've made it this far in life I'll never know...

Come to think of it I'm sure I have some too (Not used though!) pretty sure 1 came with Aliens Vs. Predator (A Weyland one) and the N7 one from Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition.

Fixed it tonight. Realised I had a fleece with the same size zips. The fleece has about 4 pockets so I didn't mind snipping one of the zips off. Slid it right onto my coat and it works better than the old one even. :mrgreen:
