This, this is what KZbin was invented for. Brilliant! Thanks.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Glad you liked it!

[@DayLikeNoOther]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Worked fantastically, done within 5 minutes!!

[@wheresmysoup1]

Just fixed my dad’s 30 year old barber for him. He’s over the moon! Thanks so much for this. Had to unpick the sewing at top of his zip so there was enough room to slip off the zippers on his. Everything else worked a charm two tries and it was realigned perfectly, then I sewed it back together where I’d unpicked the tucked in ends of the zipper. Thanks :)

[@wakou222]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My beloved Barbour, 30+ years old, resurrected! Here's to another 30 years!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Cheers to 30 more!

[@johnhigham6080]

Excellent video. One suggested improvement: it would be helpful to add that when aligning the fasteners the top left hand one as you look at the jacket should be above the top right. 🎉

[@QuintessentialGent]

Great tip!

[@pennyhill96]

Another 30+ year old Barbour jacket revived thanks to your most informative tutorial - thank you 🙏

[@pdspaula]

Thanks, from Buenos Aires! I Knew it had to be from the top off the zipper, but your explanation makes it quite easy!!

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy to hear the video helped!

[@MrAbuyaka]

Everything you need is on KZbin. Excellent tutorial. Just what I needed - thanks!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thanks!

[@sarahwhittaker1920]

Thank you- worked a treat - I was sceptical when I watched your Video but In desperation decided to have a go as I had nothing to lose - incredibly simple when you know how - you are a genius 😘

[@QuintessentialGent]

I’m happy this video helped you out. I knew I couldn’t be the only one with this problem.

[@18841000]

Thank you for this brilliant demonstration, thought that it would cost a lot to repair zip. I did it myself in 10 minutes. Genius.

[@tomtaylor9557]

Hours of frustration, solved in minutes, great tip. Thank you. Saved having to have a new zip fitted on my 40 odd year old Northumbria.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Love hearing about an old jacket gaining life again.

[@jamesevans-l5j]

I am so happy that I discovered this clip on how to fix my Barbour jacket zip! Thank you for posting it.

[@robertharrison3694]

What a fantastic hack. My wife had been avoiding her jacket for months and only mentioned it today. Your hack took a minute or 2. I’m a domestic hero again!

[@QuintessentialGent]

That's awesome! I'm happy to hear the video helped. :)

[@Roheryn100]

Success ! Resurrected my 23 year old Bedale jacket. after ten years of hanging on to it. 😍😍 It was tricky getting the clasps off, and almost as tricky getting them back on . I had to widen them further before they would slip back on the cloth. Many thanks !

[@bascetic]

thanks man--I just ran into this with my Bedale just today and was hoping there was a video about it---perfect!

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy you found the video and it helped to fix your Bedale!

[@paulrodgers6370]

Brilliant Video. A great help fixed my wife’s jacket today thanks to you.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Glad it helped!

[@ldlvideo]

Thanks a lot! I spent a whole evening fiddling with it, but to no avail. Your tip was the deal, it worked. Fixed within five minutes ;)

[@Austrianking23]

Thank you very much for this extremely helpful video! I spend hours trying to fix my mothers 30 year old Beaufort, but with this video I did it in 5 minutes:)

[@QuintessentialGent]

Happy the video helped!

[@markstuart9629]

wow. just did it myself and my 1993 beaufort is back in action for the fall. thank you.

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy to hear your Beaufort is back in action!

[@virus192]

Worked perfectly, thank you very much!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Happy to hear that!

[@roxitajames5298]

Thank you so much. This was VERY useful. I've just recovered my 30-old Barbour jacket!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Glad to hear your Barbour lives on!

[@stuartkennedy9267]

Thanks. Brilliant video which worked a treat. As with others, it saved my very old and much loved Border jacket. You hve made my day !

[@QuintessentialGent]

It's such a simple fix, glad we could save another Barbour!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Perfect, I just did the exact same. Was about to prise open those clips at the top but I was worried they would snap but your video gave me confidence to do it and now it’s ok. Tbh I had the devil of a job getting my gillet off with the zip stuck. Thanks. Andy UK

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy this video gave you the confidence to fix it!

[@t3br00k35]

Thank you. Never thought to remove the clasps at the top. Fixed my Barbour now. 👏🏻

[@QuintessentialGent]

I'm happy the video helped! It is an easy fix when you know how to fix it.

[@captainawesome5309]

Thanks man! I almost threw away my jacket! So happy I can get more use out of it. You’ve earned yourself another subscriber!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thank you! Glad the fix worked!

[@BartVyt]

thank you, thank you, thank you!!! my fathers 40y old Beaufort is back in business! again thank you, so simpel.

[@nevillepluck7605]

Oh my God just what I needed. I was seriously contemplating sending my Barbour to have the Zipper replaced. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy to hear the video helped you! Thanks for sharing!

[@nimrodtaabu2950]

Thank you ever so much🙌 you literally saved my Xmass I was miserable but your video worked a treat 😍

[@alexanderg.mattinson6607]

This is brilliant, thank you. I’ve been wondering how I’d be able to get my Barbour working again. Thanks soo much.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Hi Alexander. I'm happy to hear this video helped you out. Here's to extending the life of your Barbour!

[@alexandrajupp9685]

Thanks this was a great help x thank goodness it came up as first choice when I googled for help 🙌🏼👍have now fixed the Barbour coat that needed attention and saved video in case happens again on the others x

[@QuintessentialGent]

I'm so happy that creating a video of me fixing my jacket has helped so many others. Glad your Barbour zipper is working again!

[@smhaunch]

It worked! Thanks! Saved me some £ and a long wait to get it fixed by Barbour :-)

[@paulbradford8240]

Thank you. I have tried several times to fix the zip, to no avail. I was looking for a replacement zip when I came across your solution. It literally took a few minutes. Be careful not to slip the end of the screwdriver into your fingers. It's worth wearing a glove on the hand that's holding the jacket.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Happy that this video helped to fix the problem! Thanks for noting your tip.

[@FlashFrancis]

Thanks, I would never have thought to try doing this. All done and dusted in about 10 minutes.

[@QuintessentialGent]

So glad the video helped!

[@theoldtoby]

Worked like a charm, take a well deserved upvote!

[@jeromescheren6337]

Dude it worked, finally got to open my jacket! Thanks man

[@QuintessentialGent]

That's awesome! Glad I could help.

[@Henry-zo1bn]

Thank you so much from Japan. U have helped a lot of folks out there. Btw do u happen to know why this same zipper misalignment issue keep happening to me? Like every timeI fix it , by some random time it will just occurs again and i need to redo it all over again.it’s very annoying. Where did I do it wrong and how can I improve this situation?

[@prairieplains]

I have been looking for this solution for some time. Thanks

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy you found it Brant! :)

[@Edu-PT]

Saved my Belstaff, thanks!!

[@graham8430]

This happened to me yesterday... you get a 'thumbs up' from me!!!

[@weevil6969]

Thank you for this, now I can fix this expensive coat without destroying it or going to a tailor!

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy to hear this quick fix helped. :)

[@meganwilliams3585]

Very helpful, just fixed my jacket ..thanks very much.

[@QuintessentialGent]

Happy the video helped! :)

[@sergiofrei]

Tks a lot, who thought about that wAy! Nevertheless the delicate version is, if top clamp comes of to reinsert. So go as close as possible to the last position and roll over to get reinserted. !!

[@MrPerrogaton]

Very well explained thanks

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thanks Javier!

[@HealingPlaceEnergySchool]

Do you loosen both stoppers on top? You did only one side

[@olorcain]

I love my Barbour jackets, this is a great video can you do one about re-waxing yourself perhaps using a mink oil as an alternative? I had a friend tell me they use mink oil on theirs.

[@QuintessentialGent]

I only have two of them, and was planning on sending the older one back to the factory for some repairs. I'll ask around about the mink oil.

[@aaronlavack]

You’re my hero. Thank you so much.

[@irenemartin8398]

Perfect it worked! And so easy! Thanks 😃

[@QuintessentialGent]

I was surprised how easy it was to fix myself. :)

[@colinverity8856]

Thanks Nicholas, it worked perfectly…once I got the knack of feeding the teeth in the track 🙏👍

[@jeverhart99]

Zactly the same thing that happened to mine. I am ready to try this now....

[@QuintessentialGent]

This seems to be quite a common problem. Happy the video helped!

[@NickBaker-s1q]

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@pinyi0963]

May I ask if there's any recommend tool to remove the clasp? thank you!

[@tonybravos157]

THANK YOU.

[@victorkaminski4420]

Out Standing !! Perfect!!

[@7485D]

Just sorted my zip. Much obliged to you

[@QuintessentialGent]

I'm happy the video helped!

[@mjoseph990]

A million thanks!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Glad the video helped you Marc!

[@MaSa-eh3yc]

Perfect! Thank you soooo much!!!!!

[@QuintessentialGent]

You're welcome!

[@paulocerqueira3541]

You rock ! Thanks 👊

[@QuintessentialGent]

So glad the video helped you!

[@skratman]

Thanks very much!

[@QuintessentialGent]

So happy the video was helpful.

[@Scottydaleo]

My issue is simply getting the zipper started at the bottom. It’s very difficult to align. I’ve never had a coat with such a difficult zipper. What trick am I missing. Ordered 3 jackets due to sizing issues and every one of them was very difficult to zip up. Once it started it was very smooth. To be clear i when trying to match the zippers together it just doesn’t want to start. It’s always stuck and I have to wrestle with it until it starts to zip.

[@QuintessentialGent]

I remember seeing a video on this when I was originally searching for this fix. It's best to hold the one side completely down with the large loop, then insert the other end. Hope this helps.

[@Toob41]

Top tip 👍

[@QuintessentialGent]

Happy you think so.

[@ivanhsieh9250]

Thanks will try later

[@QuintessentialGent]

I hope it helped!

[@ivanhsieh9250]

Quintessential Gent it worked! Thank you for saving me a new jacket

[@WaxandTartans]

This helps a bunch!

[@QuintessentialGent]

Thanks mate! I’m glad this video could help someone else.

[@jeremykeller211]

O gent! This is a very useful video, but I'm worried about your Beaufort: just outside of your r/h pocket there appears to be a substantial tear. Also, it looks as if it's time to break out the wax!

[@QuintessentialGent]

I'm happy the video is useful Jeremy! As for the jacket, it is about time to send it back to the factory for some repairs. Luckily I have another that is in much better condition.

[@juennoor3309]

asem i, iyo, kamfret.... suwun maseh....

[@wendydann8180]

I just can't get the zipper bottom into the slot onto the top of the two pulls! What do I do the be able to get it in?

[@QuintessentialGent]

I think it just is a little bit of trial and error when sliding the zipper back on. Make sure the two sides are aligned, and maybe the smallest bit of lubrication could help the zipper slide back on. Hope this helps.

[@matt72178]

May I ask what colour is your Beaufort?

[@matt72178]

I have a Beaufort in olive colour, I am wondering if the colour will change/fade over time.

[@vaxid5940]

It's the top one that's stuck for me

[@qthegoat4643]

I think this is the problem with my hoodie but my clasps at plastic and I feel like if I try to beak them off they will snap in half 😭

[@QuintessentialGent]

I wouldn't recommend this approach with the plastic claps.

[@MrGuitarman8000]

I like that

[@rudolfglaser9664]

the claps are removed, but the zip cannot be slid over the "teeth" :( What now? kzbin.infot_wpBTpcJJw?feature=share Thanks

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

So I'm going to have take pliers and a screwdriver to my $400 jacket because of a shitty design. Great.
