Gents,
Bought a basically unworn BR L-2A and the zip had issues. Coming apart after the zipper slides past. Have run the left side of the jacket through the right side of the zipper on my 9th TFS L-2A and it stared doing the same. That is with TWO different zippers. Worked it until the new side ran through my old zipper puller with no issues. Did the pencil thing and it worked a treat. Then moved it back to the other zipper and it is doing the same. Will give it a bit of 'squeeze' and see if that makes a difference. The knits are different and I noticed my old Superior Togs has a black zipper on the sleeve. Wondering if the newer Superior Togs are using a repro Crown? It has a wave, like a snake on both sides too? Stitched flat but there are natural curves in the zipper. Will take some pics.. Baffled...
