Uhlmann World Cup FIE Jacket

I have two Uhlmann World Cup jackets ('00 and '03). They are cut for the average "sporty" human being while the Allstar trim is for more athletic guys. The botton of zipper for the '00 jacket broke and had to used safety pin and finally superglued the bottom of the zipper. Part of it was, a few extra pounds, but I think designers should have placed a metallic inset.
