Panic over, for now at least. I found the missing brass press fit washer that I pressed back into place. However, I don't trust the (square) brass washer in question. I am also a little disappointed at how flimsy the zipper set up is . . . . . Sure IH zippers are more solid than this particulat crown zipper . . .
I think I would be on the look out for another slider, a talon of same size/colour.
Other than that next time your in the high street, drop into the local jewelers and see what he thinks about brazing the brass retainer in place, should be a simple and permanent job. -
Thanks @elickser for the suggestions. Will explore both options

Does anyone know where I can get a Vibram 2060 sole in the Uk. I've tried the vibram academy in London but they weren't very helpful and said its a USA sole?
Or would a US member be willing to get me a set and post them to me?
Seeing Adam's @Appfaff Redwings with this sole, got me on the hunt.

@bryaneidins70 - my cobbler stocks the 2021 and I could probably get you a set. I’ve never seen them have the 2060 though.

Where do people buy their suits from? I need one to interview. Looking for something decent that looks good, but not looking to spend like that RRL $$$$. I'm in nyc if you're recommending a physical store but I'm happy to do online as long as there's a good exchange policy.

I have a Hickey Freeman suit that I got from Nordstrom Rack. You're in nyc so should have no problem finding decent suits or stores that sell them. What's your budget?

Is this the new whipcord trucker? Looks bad ass! I guess I'm confused between the corduroy versions dropping soon and this on pictured–anyone kind enough to shed some light on what model number this is and when we can expect it, please?

Thanks so much guys. It looks incredible. Dropping this A/W I assume?

That's a good idea to try Nordstrom Rack. I guess I'm looking to spend about $500 which seems average for suiting from what I can tell. I just need something I can wear like a couple times a year when I need to.

Yeah, Nordstrom Rack or any of the high end outlets (Off 5Th Ave for Saks, Last Call for Neiman Marcus) will all have a decent supply in that price range.
Saks also usually offers pretty aggressive discounts seasonally - I’ve seen some really nice suits in that price range in Mark downs at the normal store.
In all honesty, you could go to Theory (I think there is a store either around 5Th or in SoHo) and get a brand new suit for about that price as well. I always loved Theory for my dress clothes.

Also, it’s not really “luxe” tailoring, but you can get a Suit from Jos A Bank for like 350 bucks and have it tailored very well for under $100 bucks.
Example (Not My Wife):
You can also go to the JCrew Liquor Store in NYC and get suit separates for about $500 together made with really nice materials:
