Speak to Jon (jonnyboy), Stu.
He has been involved in the production of excellent repro zips.

Lewis Leathers use superb Lightning style zips with Flash marked on the puller. Jon uses them for his Irvins. Derek Harris at LL may be able to supply you with what you need.

I remember a while back a photo of a zipper.......... Maybe I won't go there.

Just a quick look at the zip, Jon uses for his Irvins.
The very best IMO.

It takes a smartphone to do a better one

That's interesting that the brass rivets don't go through the ends of the zip tape on your jacket Søren. I guess they are cosmetic only; maybe because the zipper doesnt have the hardware to accept the rivets? It's an excellent zipper though.

You're right Noel - the zipper doesn't have the hardware. Call it cosmetic, call it an eye for detail...
I still think the zipper suits (one of) the best repro Irvin jacket,money can buy.

I have to agree Søren, looks the biz. You have the best looking repro I've seen, hands down
