G'day everyone this is my first post to the board.
I have a current issue flight jacket (Royal Australian Air Force/Australian Army Aviation Corps). The label is faded and I can no longer read the printing but I think it is an Australian manufactured CW-45. The jacket is the current type issued to aircrew and I wore it during my time in the service.
The trouble is that the the brass zipper tag has snapped off due to some overexuberent attempts to pull it closed when there were some threads stuck in the zipper. I have retrieved the nomex pulling tag from the brass tag and have threaded a small key ring through the zipper closer so I can wear the jacket.
I would like to have the zipper replaced rather than buy a new jacket as the as the jacket is nice and comfortable and "worn in".
The zipper is a dark brass colour and is manufactured by Scovill. Any Ideas where I can find a replacement zipper and a shop that will do the work for me? I am in Perth, Western Australia.
Thanks.
