We have used Leveret footed sleepers for over 2 years now - various colors / materials / sizes - this is the first time that we tried the black and white stripe - not sure if it has to do with the color, but the zipper did not work. The ones we have from before worked for a long while (over 6 months of heavy use and regular wash / dry), and continue to look good, but unfortunately we have had to return this one. Giving it three stars because I presume that the defect was for this piece and does not reflect the quality of other black and white striped sleepers from Leveret. We otherwise love their products.
