Yep I have to send my precious ghost whisperer to the hospital for a 3" tear. The patient has developed a tear in her inner abdominal at the very bottom zipper location. The zipper is still attached and working. But I won't wear again until it's repaired. I love this jacket had it many years and been out many trips. So I'm in the process of finding a good seamstress . Has anyone else had this issue in the same place and is there anything specific I need to relate to such said seamstress?
