Have a "Go-Belt" that has two zippered pouches. After only a month or two
of use one zipper failed. Tab won't mesh the two sides.- just slides back
and forth. Probably impossible to fix. Cheap plastic zipper on cheap (~$5)
Go-belt. But thought it couldn't hurt to ask. These belts are - to me -
quite habit-forming. Guess I'll need to order a couple more. Now I have
some idea what women do with those huge purses!

If the tab is metal, use a pair of pliers to squeeze the 2 sides closer
together. That's worked for me in the past.

Otherwise you can remove the zipper and put a new one in.

I've fixed many zippers that failed like that. Can you take a photo of
it both sides and I can tell you how to fix it.

Would it be worthwhile to take them to a shoe repair shop? How about
Velcro?

It's a $5 belt. It better have some serious sentimental value if he's going to put
3 to 4 times more money into fixing it than it's even worth.

Who mentioned sentimental value, except you?

Maybe the old man has a girlfriend that can sew.

No one did...just me. That was the point of my post. For anyone to spend more money
than something is worth to fix it, there should be a good reason. Sentimental value
is just one possible reason. I see that that inference was lost on you.


Maybe the old man has a girlfriend that can sew.

He'd better, because paying to have it done probably doesn't make sense, thus my comment about sentimental value. I could have used some other reason (it's the only belt that fits,
it matches his favorite leisure suit, whatever) but I chose sentimental value.

Well, I was a professional seamstress, so, if the OP wants me to tell
him how to fix it, I will, after I see photos of it. Most the time
zippers can be fixed unless you've torn it up.

Usually it's the slider that's shot. At one time REI had replacement
sliders or you might be able to find them at JoAnn fabrics etc. The
smaller sizes are common but I have to order the ones for my MC jacket
from Amazon. For jackets and other open type uses there is a stop at the
top. If the zipper is sewn in on both ends you may need to open the
stitches and redo them.

I'm not much on posting photos. Don't know how. Never took one with cell.
Can I describe the zipper? It's plastic and tab that slides is plastic.
Seems to close when I slide tab but easily pulls apart with no effort.

Velcro is an idea! Let me think about that. I have some Velcro if I can
figure out how to use it to replace the zipper.

I was quoted $30 to $40 to replace a zipper on a $50 coat. Just the
zipper alone was about $18. I threw away the coat.

It makes no sense to replace one on a $5 item.

If you have some paraffin or a candle, you might try using the wax to lube the zipper when you fix it or get a new GoBelt. I used saw wax on my tool bag zippers when they became unruly. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Interesting. I wasn't bothered by anything and merely posted an observation.

b_v thought I was bothered...I said I wasn't...he said he was (possibly).

I guess the question is: Who ****ed in who's what? Nobody ****ed in
anything of mine.

(BTW...I'm still not bothered by any of this.

Quit responding and I'll believe you.


But it's more fun to respond. Please don't deprive me of this enjoyable
experience. Now that might bother me.

...you'd go on and on, ad infinitum...and who would be wasting energy?

So let's see if I understand how this works.

You jump into the middle of a thread and make a comment about something I posted. I respond,
you respond, your buddy Gordo jumps in, you two have your own little back and forth (about me
BTW) and I'm the one that is supposed to go quietly into the night.

I see, you guys rule the internet and I should stop posting because you guys say so. Wouldn't
you just love it if that's how it actually worked? To bad, but it just doesn't. I'm sure that bothers
you. It appears that *I* bother you.

I said it before and I'll say it again: if I bother you, quit talking to me. You don't bother me, Gordo
doesn't bother me, so I'm not wasting any energy...in fact, this is kind of fun.

I was quoted $30 to $40 to replace a zipper on a $50 coat. Just the
zipper alone was about $18. I threw away the coat.

It makes no sense to replace one on a $5 item.

Watch out...b_v might want to know why replacing a zipper bothers you.

It's a crush. That color looks so cute on you.

If you have some paraffin or a candle, you might try using the wax to
lube the zipper when you fix it or get a new GoBelt. I used saw wax on
my tool bag zippers when they became unruly. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Didn't fix the problem. Or did you mean it would prevent the problem on a
working zipper? Your reply seems to indicate the latter.

Have a seamstress near you to do a replacement zipper?

It's a $5 belt. It better have some serious sentimental value if he's going to put
3 to 4 times more money into fixing it than it's even worth.

Why should it bother you...that's the OP's decision? He also said he should buy a couple more belts!


Well, I was a professional seamstress, so, if the OP wants me to tell
him how to fix it, I will, after I see photos of it. Most the time
zippers can be fixed unless you've torn it up.

Do you know of or could you post a video or procedure to do this?
