Anyone know of a good place to get technical apparel repaired? I managed to bash the zipper of my favorite Beyond custom jacket and break the bottom stop offI love this jacket and want to get it fixed, but I'm not sure that the local tailors here are familar with outdoor gear....
As an aside, does anyone know how to get pet hair off of windbloc fleece? I've washed it over and over, tried the sticky roller, and still can't get it all. I don't want to send a "furry" jacket for repair.

Spray it with static guard to get it a little damp and then put it in the dryer on very low setting and let it bounce around quite a while. This rescued a fleece robe that one of my dogs "adopted."

You can sometimes send things back to the manufacturer to be repaired. Call beyond custom.

Pardes: great idea about the static guard. Will try that tonight!
Catriona: There's nothing on their webpage about repairs, but I may shoot them an email anyway.

For the zipper repair wouldn't they need more familiarity with zippers than with outdoor wear?

Unless it's some special zipper, any seamstress could replace it. Do you still have the stop? Put it back in place with a pair of pliers.
