    Be extra vigorous with the inspection and testing and zips in any clothing from the opshop. I shop there extensively and have found the number one reason a nice jacket is donated is because the zip is faulty or outright broken.

      Zips are replaceable

        My mother refuses to even entertain the idea of fixing my zips and she says it an absolute pain and not worth the trouble. She is a seasoned sewer too so I’m going to continue to take her word for it.

        I guess if the item is valuable enough and of high quality it may be worth taking to a professional and paying the premium.
