    Default Coat Brands With Chunky Zippers?

    DD will get through the rest of this winter in her current coat, but I'd like to be aware for next year because she will NEED a new coat then.

    HOWEVER, she prefers zippers that are kind of chunky, like the ones on the Disney Store Star Wars hoodies (she wears her R2 almost nonstop during the spring and fall; they appear to be completely sold out/discontinued or I'd link.) I'd rather get her what she likes so that she can zip her own coat at school.

    What brands have zippers like those?

    Thank you!

    I had a Squall parka in women's sizes and thought of it immediately, but worried that it wouldn't be the same in kids'.

    LLB jackets have excellent zippers.

    Are the pulls chunky? I didn't look too closely at them the last time we were in LLB (there is a store near us) because we were in a rush, but I'm really looking for a chunkier zipper pull, similar to the pulls on the Disney Store's R2D2 hoodies. (I really wish I could link them, but they appear to have been discontinued, which is really awful. DD loves her R2 jacket and will outgrow it by the fall!)

    The extra bit of bulk helps DD line everything up so she can zip her own coat.
