Le Chameau Wellingtons Zip replacement

[Bull]

Has anyone had a zip replaced on a pair of Le Chameau wellingtons
Where Did you get it done and was it a quality job

Last time I rang Chameau they gave me a number of a firm who they recommend to do the zips I think they said it was about £80 at the time.
I'm sorry to say I don't have the number to hand as it was a couple of years ago, I'm sure if you ring they can help

I thought you had to wear them with the zip open ? Everyone I know who had them seemed too

wear them with the zip open ?

Alot depends on the shape of the calf muscles.

Normally, mine are open. However if I am trying to be stealthy, closing the zip prevents that annoying and noisy slap on the back of ones legs, which seams much loader at 1st light.

Following with interest. The zip puller has snapped on my 18 years old pair.

I found this company, but haven’t used them Pick Up My Repair » 2 x Le Chameau Welly Zips

Just ordered a new pair from Le Chameau
They are in black but reduced from £360 to £199 a pair
When your walking in mud does it matter what colour they are

The zip puller snapped on both my wellingtons
I drilled a hole through and put a piece of para cord in to pull up the zip
The zip has now totally broken

I used a key ring on mine works fine

Not wellies but gaters, when zip pull has snapped off I've used a small key ring through the zipper & then a loop of para cord through that. Works a treat provide the zip itself is still working & a lot less than £80 for a new zip!

I used cable ties when the zip puller snaps, I did once have a zip replaced in leather riding boots , it was cheaper to buy the zip from America at the time and get my local cobbler to replace it, not sure if your local cobbler would have a go ?

Zips fine but I've lost both the metal chameau badges of the front of my heritage boots and chameau have said they can't help if anyone knows any where ( sorry to hijack the thread)
