Okay, my jacket was pretty expensive for my ethnic group, and unfortunetly, this is MY SECOND TIME breaking the zipper. The first time was on the removable hood, but I get to excahnge it because it was just the 2nd week I had it. Now, I don't enjoy the recipet, or the tags anymore. The zipper on the front zip all the agency up, but it doesn't zip down on the cut where you put it together. So, I can't fully unzip it. I put the piece on uneven, thats why. I can't really sew anything. I really don't want it to be similar to this, and I don't know what to do. Images are below. Please ask questions, if any. AND PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!

Answers: From the pictures the right appendage track seems to be slightly a bit higher than the departed. I'm assuming it still zips up OK, so here's something to try.
At the top of the moved out hand zipper track, up by the collar, nearby will be a metal end stop. It will look close to a solid silver bit of metal rather than a tooth, that grips onto both sides of the zipper track.
Carefully remove the back stop on the left paw track by prising it apart, a pair of pliers or a small screw driver may do the duty. Now zip the jacket adjectives the way up departed the end of the track the zipper verbs will come off the vanished hand track and remain on the right because it is greater. You should then be capable of manually pull the teeth apart, completely unzipping the jacket. You should be capable of slide the pull down the right stern down to the bottom and off the head in. You should later be able to thread the verbs back onto the top of the vanished hand track. Note that you may call for to unpick the stitching at the top of the collar in directive to get satisfactory free tape on the top of the track to slot it pay for on. Once its back on you can later stitch the end of the zipper spinal column in.
You should next have a fully functional zipper. You can undamagingly leave the finish off stop off the top of the track as at hand is still one on the right hand side. Providing you hold it lined up when you fastener it the end stop on the right should prevent it from sliding bad the end if zip normally.
Good Luck
i'm a tailor and this one's a toughy because of adjectives the topstitching. if you really want to save it, nickname around to dry cleaner's and see if they have someone that can replace a zipper.
