Ideas on where to get zip for Revit pants?

**nzspokes** · 12th October 2014, 13:52

I have some Revit pants I need to get the jacket side of the zip to zip them to my jacket. My problem is these zips seem to be made of unobtanium.

Have tried Motomail where i got the pants from and they say I have to buy the matching jacket. But they dont have a jacket in my size. They cant seem to get past that point. I tried the importer who has said nobody ever asks for them. They also said the pants come with the zips. None that I looked at Motomail had them on. Mine didnt have it on.

Ive tried Kerry in Auckland, she cant help. Well I could get her to pull the pants apart and fit a new zip. Which seems pointless when the other half of the factory zip would solve it. Its easy to put into the jacket.

The zip is a YBS black zip. Cant find an importer for YBS either.

Anybody got some ideas?

Are both the jacket and pants Rev'it? Mine are but different models. I got a connecting zip from Motomail - was ages ago though. Maybe a clothing alteration place could change a zip for cheap? Its a bastard when you shell out and have to again to get it to zip.

Kerry can do that and all accounts is the best at it. But I dont see the point If I can get the right zip half which can easily be sewn into my jacket.

On the pants it would mean taking the whole top apart to do it.

Yep, I had this, but what, circa 2011 I think? Rev'it changed their zips, so some jacket and pant combos didn't work, and you could get free connecting zips (two different ways obviously).

Otherwise, what model is it, perhaps I have something lying about, as I've got 2-3 Rev'it jackets and pants...

The Pants are Tarmac's. Leather track ones. You can get a black or silver zip. Its the black YBS one. About 35cm long.

Sigh... I have 7 different zip pieces, but they're all YKK and shorter (215mm, one is a little longer) or full length (more like 700mm).

oh well...

My Revit stuff all came with both sides to the zips. But alas, they're all the silver YKK zips.

My gear is off with Kerry in town getting a new zip fitted. I am going to have a we chat with some people about them not being able to supply parts for them though.

There was a lady in 1999/2000 who had a shop in Krd, I think from memory her name was Kerry, do you know if this is the same lady?

Very interested in finding out where she went, she did my last suite and I really would like to get a new suite done by her.
