My zipper on my original shifter boot must have broken and they just stitched her right up. (the very bottom of the zipper is still visible)

Any suggestions on where to send to get zipper replaced?

Or should I just get a new shifter boot? Source?

coupeguy.com has/had boots made in good leather.
 
I recently had my shifter boot zipper re-sewn at a local old tyme shoe cobbler (the threads were shot). Take the entire boot to a shoe place or leather/fabric upholsterer and see if they can match the type of zipper and sew it in using the existing holes. If the boot is in good shape, I'd try to keep it. If you want pics of what the zipper looks like let me know and I will post.

$40 for the black leather boot shipped from across the pond seems like a bargain.
Good quality leather? Good workmanship?

Well, I thought so, yes. Admittedly my coupe doesn't see a lot of mileage or sunlight. But in the 5 or so years since I installed the boot, it has held up well.
