Loras asks “Looking for a Made in USA #5 zipper, will need only 34 in various lengths. In black, sports gray and lime green. The garments range from M-3XL, so zipper length will roughly run 24″-29″. Hope you can help’

I’ve recommended this sight as a place to begin. I did not come up with a lot of choices for zippers. It’s sad because the Talon zipper was made 15 miles from my house. I’m not sure if they make them in the US any more or not. Their website is not forthcoming. Though they reference locations in ohio and a few other states.. The plant in Meadville is closed down.
