Adding a full circumference zipper?

[blaircsf]

Through a goof/misunderstanding, I ended up with a pair of leather pants that only have the 8" zipper across the back (my jacket has the full circumference zipper). I was planning on using these for some initial track lessons/days and rides in the canyons etc. I have a pair of overpants that I generally wear for commuting.

I know one piece is preferred, but it would still be nice to have these for those times when the two piece is acceptable and more convenient. I'm also tempted by that Spartan Leathers group buy which might make this not a big deal.

Anyway, my question is can a full circumference zipper be added to the pants, and if so, does anyone have recommendations on where to have it done. My jacket has the other side of the zipper so that's not a problem, I just need it attached to the pants.

If anyone has any input on whether or not this is a reasonable idea, where to look at having it done, or any other information, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Yup, did it to mine. They have two zippers now, full and half for either jacket.

I had them fix my race leathers and a pair of race gloves and they turned them around OVER NIGHT!!
Don't forget to take the jacket too because they will need to match up the pitch of the zipper teeth to get the correct zipper for the pants!

FYI:

Just called Kris about sewing in a 360 waist zipper. She referred me to Jerry's Leathers on S. Broadway. She said she does the full-length one piece front zippers and the leg zips. But for 360's she passes on the service to Jerry.
