I bought the black/orange nylon jacket off ebay but noticed the zipper is on the left side of the jacket instead of being on the right like every other jacket I've ever owned. Even my HD leather has the zipper on the right side of the jacket. did I get a blem/second or is that the way they are supposed to be? The other issue is that I tried the same 3XL jacket on at the dealership and it fit fine but the jacket I got fits snug but the label inside the jacket says 3XL so this is another reason why I'm wondering if the jacket is a blem/second, maybe it's labelled wrong. any help would be great!!!

The jacket I bought is 97068-00V

 

I got that same jacket off Ebay a year or so ago, and put it on and said "WTF!" - It's def. a blem/second, but the seller never says anything about it, and when I emailed them they told me tough **** at first, then I went through PayPal to get my money and sent them the jacket back, found one from a stealer on Ebay for $20 more (still lower than the shops) and bought it, and low and behold, zipper on the correct side.


I'd get a refund if I were you.

 

You guys need to start dating.....not meaning each other!
You bought a womens jacket!!! &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

 

"Womens Jackets".......... that's sum funny stuff..

 

Yeah, womens jacket's, coats, etc. always buttoned on the opposite side. not sure why.

 

I think it comes from back in the old old days when women wore corsett's and someone else had to button them up for them.&nbsp\\; Ever since then all the zippers and buttons on women's clothes have been backwards.

 

If you can show Paypal that is was misrepresented as a man's jacket, you will win your case with the seller and most likely get a refund or replacement.&nbsp\\; Most of these seconds come direct from China when you win them on ebay.&nbsp\\; Still not a bad deal for the money if it meets all of your requirements.

 

I have that jacket and my zipper is on the correct side.&nbsp\\; Good luck!

 

Mens zippers for the European market are on the left as well. I have a British SAS Combat Smock dated 1968 that's zippered on the left and I'm pretty sure there's no female SAS Commando's (yet).
