Zips Gear

[Zippy87]

The recent post about getting a Shammah jersey made me think to start this thread - where do you get your best Zips gear? I've had the most luck with Rally House in Fairlawn.

 

Is Akron Felt & Chenille still making Zips stuff?

Akron Felt is no more, the old owner didn't pay taxes for multiple years. One of the former employees started his own business doing the same thing. https://www.simos.cc/

He has totally rebuilt the business but is doing a great job, we use him to do all the repairs on the RubberDucks uniforms, highly recommend

The best Zips gear selection I ever saw was at the Salvation Army store on Brittain Rd last year, they had tons of brand new stuff donated from the bookstore. Not sure if they are gonna have more this year though

Does he make custom Zips gear like Akron Felt did? Some of my favorite items are still ones I had made there. I'd take a blank hoodie or shirt and get Akron logos out on.

I believe he can do that, they have done Guardians jersey customization for me in the past as well. They can do cadcut stuff in custom shapes and stuff so I believe so, although I don't know if they are partnered with UA

If you search "Akron Zips" on eBay and sort by newest items, you can sometimes find some good stuff that I assume is from former athletes and staff members. Other than that, the Bookstore website is decent but expensive.
