Zipper: Patagonia zip bottom box fell off

Hi,
I have a Patagonia Nano Puff hoodie - this precise jacket :

Patagonia Men's Nano Puff® Hoody
Item number is ITEM:84700SP13885657518715

The bottom stop has fallen off the zip and I have lost it unfortunately. Are you able to refer me to the exact bottom stop I need to replace it? I can then follow the instructions in this video from Arcteryx: FIXED: Replacing Bottom Box - YouTube
I have the zipper slider still which has the identification number YKK45c.

Many thanks,
James

Patagonia Fastener: Pocket zipper frayed, getting hung up.

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:09:57 -0700

Hi,

I have a pocket zipper that started to fray, & was getting hung up. I burned off the fray with a lighter, it still didn’t fix it. I burned it a little more, it worked, but still has a little friction on the spot. It also created a small gap on the zipper fabric between the zipper and jacket fabric. I am thinking if I keep using the pocket, the gap will get bigger.

It is a brand new Nano Puff that a vendor gave me a month ago. I have worn it a handful of times, & surprised the zipper failed so quick.

Is it something that can be fixed under warranty?

Patagonia Zipper: I have a Patagonia Jacket (hemp) and the zipper is messed up.

Thu, 11 Feb 2021 13:31:14 -0700

I have the Hemp Canvas Ranch Jacket. I love it. But the zipper refuses to stay closed after several years of use. I zip it up, look down, and the zipper will have opened up below the “pull”. I guess I need to replace the zipper, but I am not worth a hoot with a needle and thread. Where do I get a zipper and is there a special place to do it, or would any seamstress (I don’t know the gender neutral term for that, sorry!) be able to handle it?

Patagonia Zipper: I'm an experienced tailor is stumped by zipper

Thu, 11 Feb 2021 13:20:34 -0700

Hi, I’m an experienced tailor and upon looking at the Hooded Down Sweater, it looks like the down will be exposed and loose if I remove the old zipper and try to replace it.

Is the down not contained inside a separate form??? I don’t really want to get into that kind of mess!

Two zippers on the jacket are broken. The bottom stop on the front zipper broke off, and one pocket zipper is broken.

If I send it back to be repaired by your team, will it be covered by the warranty? Will you fix it or replace it? It’s only a few years old. And not hard wear.

thanks, Jan Gearhart (jangearhart9@gmail.com)
