I recently purchased a 1 Tonne Jacket but the zip on the front has broken anyone one who in Wellington central can do zip repairs? I was looking to return jacket but will cost me more in couriers fee's than it's probably going to cost me to get it repaired.

Anyone else had quality issues with 1 Tonne clothing?

+1 for Ratti. A pleasure to deal with when wifey's pants needed rezipping, and great value too. Came back better than they were originally.

Well, you brought your poor battered seat to me SSteve! And it left looking a lot better than when it arrived

Thanks I did ask them they want $70 to replace the zipp, not sure if that's good or not. Given the jacket only cost $250 new.

Is the same as I would charge.
Why would you expect it cheaper? there is close to an hours work in the job plus the cost of the zip.

cheers

You'll often find the zip a repairers will fit is substantualy better than the OEM one... and that zip is all that will prevent the jacket tearing open in the event of a side or front of body impact on the tarmac.... thats a cheap priced peace of mind....

But as the old saying goes re the jacket? Caveat emptor.... buy cheap? expect cheap!
