Q&A: Zippers and Tailor
Q: I have a two way zipper on my which jacket which is finished. Any recommendations?
A: I just went over to St-Hubert St. which is the fabric district of Montreal. There are 2 side-by-side shops that sell notions and they both sell two-way zippers in many sizes and colors. I was surprised to find out that you can buy any length of one-way zipper as they have long rolls and just cut off the length you need (I bought a 60″ one for a duvet cover) and finish off the ends
