I got my zipper in the mail yesterday and I feel the need to re-post the link to the zipper company.

I got it from Custom Zips, which is almost the only place I could find a 30" zipper, and certainly the only place I could find so many styles and colors in that length. Nobody in my area sells them retail, and I couldn't find any on the web, either.

The pattern doesn't specify zipper style, just length. I chose a heavyweight plastic one (this is a seriously durable-looking zipper!), 'luggage' style; it is closed at both ends and has two pulls. I sent them a fabric swatch and ended up with a color that, while not a perfect match, coordinates well.

They don't show the colors on thier website, and they don't accept internet orders. But even sending through the mail, with a check, it arrived pretty quickly. I mailed my order on a Friday afternoon, and the zipper arrived 10 days later, on a Monday.
