Within one year of wearing a fleece jacket of a famous brand, the front zipper broke like this:
I was hoping I could simply fix the zipper itself, but the teeth of the zipper was somehow detached. So, I had to install a completely new zipper. I looked for a similar colour, but I was not able to find any. (The clothes manufacturers have a way of ordering the matching coloured notions for their production. But home sewists like us do not have access to that.)
So, in the end, I bought a black one, and here is what it looks like after the repair. So, yes, the colour is black and the zipper stands out now, but oh well. I would rather be able to make use of this fleece jacket until it's beyond repair.
