Dull as ditch water post, but where in Sheffield can I get a zip replaced on my favourite jacket? It simply fell off...
City Centre/ Eccy Road preferred!
Thanks

I don't know of anywhere on Eccy Road or Town Centre but there's a place in Meadowhall opposite Timpsons that does these sort of repairs and also a place along Woodseats called ''iish'' that does clothing alterations/repairs etc

The dry cleaners next to Somerfield on Ecc Rd do alterations/new zips etc. It's not that cheap though (e.g. about 12quid for a new zip in some jeans) so it's not always worth repairing.

You could buy a zip from Atkinson haberdashery for a few quid and ask someone who knows how to sew to put it in for you. There are still people out there who can do that, aren't there, or am I the only one with a sewing box? <Looks about wondering if she is alone>

In the Ecclesall Road area try Amie B just behind the Porter Cottage pub on Sharrowvale Road. She's done some repairs and alterations for me in the past and I can recommend her:

No, you're not the only one. Zips are a bit tricky though and these days I don't have the time - currently I have 3 pairs of trousers awaiting new zips.
