Has anyone ever had their zippers swapped out by a Tailor? Is this a fairly straight forward request for a tailor?
Does it have to be done specifically by a leather tailor? Any help as always is appreciated...

It's not a complicated process, but you do have to make sure the tailor is experienced working with leather.
I have used Arrow Leathercare for work on a few different jackets and they have done a great job at a reasonable price. This is who US Wings used at one time, don't know if they still do or if they've moved their repair service in house.
