Any recommendations for someone to renew the zip in my old leather jacket?
UK obviously.

Try a traditional cobbler - there's one locally to me that offers repairs to bike clothes.

Or try a local saddlery - they're used to working with leather

Or ask local racers were they get their leathers repaired.

Ask Aly Mushtaq at City of Leather - tell him Bill from BSAOC recommended him - he sells high quaity triple seemed bike gear & will surely have connections.
He's always been good to me, always see him at NEC. London E10

Most shoe repairers in shopping centres will do it.

Yeah, I was really after recommendations for an actual business or company.
Many years back "The Mighty Gussett" (for older forum members) recommended a place in East London who were very good, but I've since lost their contact details.

I wonder where Gus is now ? I had seen him at shows previously carrying his usual tins of cider

Hi,

If near Northampton would be helpful, Rachel Dobbs.
