Bill,
I have located the zipper needed for my suit at SEATTLE FABRICS. I have also gone over the farrmer john post many times trying to determine whether I should or could do it myself. Is the glue enough or should I have it sewed at someplace like an upholstery shop with the machine to do it?
Thanks for the help as I need this done before the season gets going! :smt012

suit is back,
 Less than seven days for repair and return from the time I sent it off.
7" of pure relief,( the zipper that is).
Well sewn in with heavy thread,glued and seam sealed for $41.00 parts and labor. Shipping was $9.00 each way.
Worth every penny to know pete is not trapped for the day when we go out together for a day of fishing on the ocean!
Now if I just keep his eye from staring at the bottom of the boat while hes getting fresh air maybe he won't get seasick! Just like my dad told me "keep your eye on the horizon and you won't get sick".
Not sure if its OK to post a plug for OTTER BAY WETSUITS or not but here is the # if you want great service, great people and quick response please give Cricket a call.
