Replacing zipper to a Juicy hoodie
Permalink Closed

As I was freezing my ass off yesterday hauling groceries to my apartment, I discovered that the zipper to my pink Juicy velour hoodie will no longer zip. The teeth of the zipper don't work properly anymore. I don't want to dispose of it, but is there any way to get a replacement zipper for the hoodie with the J zipper pull? Or should I just wear it open?

Have you tried waxing the zipper?  It may help the teeth slip back into alignment.

Vasoline may work if you have any handy at home.

A candle should work just fine.

you can rub a plain old bar of soap along the teeth of the zipper.  that usually works to wax it up enough that it will work again, and it's not too messy.

If the wax doesn't work, you can take it to a shoemaker or a good tailor and they should be able to repair it for you for about $10.
