Great job del I just learned to fix my zippers

[@DudsByDel]

Perhaps a little silly how proud of myself I felt 😅

@@markmartin1835 heck yeah man. It may have taken me like 100x as long as Denny did but it was my first time. Was fun too

[@markmartin1835]

Great video man. Was wondering if you could make a video in regards to jacket reselling and the process you might go through to do that. I think that would make for a really interesting idea.

[@DudsByDel]

Oh sure. It’s been on my mind lately as well

[@nathancreel8547]

Nice job!

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks Nathan!

Good work. Apparently, when you've cleaned the zip teeth, if you then run a pencil up and down a few times, this will help keep it running more smoothly for a long time.

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks! Have heard the pencil trick. I do also have a tube of zipper ease, which is a wax based product

[@brunonjezic6208]

So glad that bran I like has that great customer service though you didn't got the jacket directly from them. Great stuff. Btw excellent looking time pice! Is it a vintage Eterna?

[@DudsByDel]

Yeah man. Really stand by their product. The watch is a Doxa Sub 200 “Sharkhunter”

[@brunonjezic6208]

Actually it look really good zipped qll the way up. Not bad to have options

[@DudsByDel]

Yeah options are 👌 Most often I feel like it will still be unzipped but versatility is very nice

[@stiffmeister0hYeah]

Do we need some kind of zipper oil? I never really researched zippers on jackets. I did have a zipper blow out on my old Spidi motorcycle jaket.

[@DudsByDel]

I’ve used a product called ZipperEase, it’s wax based

[@irondog8250]

Well done ! Do you lubricate your Zips with pencil lead (graphite) or what ? In England zippers are known as zips, I’m sure you know that.

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks Iron Dog! I have a stick of zipper wax called ZipperEase. You rub a little along the zipper teeth then work the zipper over jt

Hey Del you do a great job presenting various leather jackets. Thank you . I have many leather jackets but haven’t had time to save up for an Aero yet. Any thoughts on Master Supply Co leather jackets? Thx

[@DudsByDel]

Hey Steve, thanks man! Master Supply is in an interesting spot price-wise. I’d like to do a review on them but haven’t handled one of their jackets yet.

I also have a Highway Man, front quarter horse, and it's a great jacket. BUT my zipper went after I wore the jacket about 10 times. Unfortunately my malfunction is on the male part of the starter...the part went and can not be found. I think the jacket is super great but the little A-2 size Talon is not up to the job. I will go for a 8mm or so RiRi...just need to find someone to put it in correctly.

[@DudsByDel]

@@anj4de yes a common concern. Dena at Great Leather or Johnson Leather can do the zip for you, I’m sure there are other places too

[@MemeCity9099]

Where did you get the zipper from? I can't seem to find where to buy replacement zippers

[@DudsByDel]

Is it for an Aero jacket?

[@MemeCity9099]

@@DudsByDel it's for a Schott, for the sleeves. The ones that are on it now are Ideal branded and aren't very good
