These guys here http://www.zippersource.com/
offer custom made (length, color, size, material, zipper slider type) zippers. They have a very nice wizard where you can order your zipper to send to Peter to put in your jacket. Prices are not that bad either.

brgds,

Aarrrrgghhh!
PLATON, you went and got my hopes up! A zipper supplier right here in Chicago and they don't stock #8 in nickel! Why is this zipper so hard to get? I have a #8 antique brass in my Wested that I want to swap with nickel and a wimpy #5 in my Flightsuits that I want to change out too. Does anyone have a source? Perhaps someone in Europe or Asia?

Let me get this straight

#5 has bigger teeth than #8 or the opposite?

Yes, A #8 has bigger teeth than a #5. I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed now for screen accuracy (because I think the screen used jacket had a #5, but my personal preference is the #8. Especially on a heavier jacket like my goatskin Expo.
BTW, Dr. J, that zip-it link doesn't work for me either!
