Leather Repair

A tooth broke on the zipper fly of these Joe Rocket Blaster perforated leather pants (photo above). I took them to Outback Leather in Laurel, Maryland for repair. They finished the job in 2 hours and it cost $25.00. I chose this heavy-duty metal YKK zipper to replace the Nylon teeth of the original (photo below).
