You should be able to find someone to fix the zipper, find a tailor or seamstress that takes on small projects, you can ask at suit shops, dry cleaners and higher end clothing stores, Nordstrom, Macys and the like.
Thanks! Wasn’t aware of blocking, will have to try it.
The teeth of the zipper are falling off, so it would need to be replaced. Just like components, any replacement would need to be OEM or a convincing replica. You’re right though, I probably need to ask around and see what can be done.
