Bit of a silly question but here goes, I got a 5.11 tactical jacket of ebay for a fraction of the new price , it fits perfect etc etc., but I noticed that it zips the opposite way up the front, great I thought I have bought a women's jacket but their website only gives sizes with no male/female options , it was suggested to me that as its a US garment they all zip the opposite of UK jackets , can anyone clear this up for me or am I wearing a girly jacket

Re: 5.!! tactical jacket zip
I wouldn't worry...... Well; only when the jackets zipped up. 
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

It's not pink is it?
I'm not sure many people would notice nowadays looking at it, and I'm not sure I would have noticed doing it up either.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Don't worry, it's true. US zips differ from UK.
I hope......hoho
Re: 5.!! tactical jacket zip
Its most likely one that was rejected by quality control after being incorectly manufactured.
A lot of 5.11 stuff is made in the far east & many "seconds" find there way onto ebay through various routes.
I have been had in similar fashion when buying tdu trousers in the past, the sizes are usually wrong or the elastic in the waistband is stitched badly.
Always best to buy from the recognised dealers, im lucky as there is a good one in telford not far from me.
