What side is your zip?

[Plane Sailing]

If you have a cardigan or zipped fleece, when it is undone - which side is the zip part of the zip on?

In the UK clothing for males has the zipper unit on the left, and clothing for females has the zipper unit on the right.

I recently bought an item of clothing from the US and found it had the zipper on the right, which felt really strange, and took me a little while to get used to.

So, in the interests of science - does your country have gender-specific zips? And if so, which side is it for men and which for women?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Cheers

I think we have it the same way in Finland. Left for men and right for women. The buttons are opposite though. If a jacket has buttons, the buttons themselves are on the right for men, and on the left for women...

Would it be the same or different for jackets since the only thing I have with a zipper is a jacket.

Checking my own and my wife's jackets - yes, they are gender specific. Men's on the right, women's on the left.

Same for shirt buttons - a men's shirt has the buttons on the right, women's on the left.

Looks like Europeans don't just driving on the wrong side of the road...

All of my clothing that has a zipper, has it on the right. I think that's pretty much standard for USA.

Continental Europeans drive on the same side as Mexicans or Americans.
