I don't see what makes it a womens jacket. If it fits you and you're happy with it, use it. Much better than not having something to protect you.

I know woman's clothing have the buttons on the opposite side from mens shirts. Does that apply to zippers too?

yeah, the zippers are on the opposite side, are these jackets usually short? it comes down to the top of my pants while standing up

Why is this? Do they know something we don't?

And sexy jacket OP :p

Seriously, though...as long as there aren't pre-molded boobs out front and a giant hello-kitty graphic on the back...I think you're good to go. Cut off that label, though. :thumbup:

If you're built like a chick then your okay!!! :D

But for reals, I see no problem. No one will know the difference but you.

I have a zip-up hooded sweatshirt that I love, After buying it I realized it was actually a womans model. The only problem is that the zipper is on the wrong damn side.

When I first got the sweatshirt they put my MAN CARD on probation for a few weeks, but It's good now abd I've been fully reinstated.

they're on the opposite side so it's easier for someone else to take them off.

Nice jacket. I would keep it just in case you decide to get another one you can always keep this jacket if a lady friend needs/wants a ride. You don't have to tell her that it's a woman's jacket.

I require a photograph of you wearing said jacket before I can give the correct advise. If it makes it look like you're developing boobs, well...... :p

Back in the day when sophisticated women got dressed, they had servants to assist with the task. Most fasteners were buttons, hooks, and lacing. To make things easier for the servants, the buttons and hooks on women's clothing was moved to the other side so that a right handed servant could easily close the fastener. Today, it's just an anachronism based on aesthetic appeal.

On topic: If the jacket fits you correctly, and you like the look and style, that's all that [U]truly[U] matters here. Girl gear is usually cut with a little more flare at the hips, and a little more room at the bust line. Really curvy girl gear is obvious in it's styling and cut, as it leaves no room for doubt!

I see you are in NWA. They are having Bikes, Babes & Bling in Fayetteville over the 4th of July. Just be careful if you go check that out. Might be an awkward moment if you run into a hot biker chick wearing the same jacket! :eek:

Personally if I were you I would keep it if it fits you good. The jacket doesn't look feminine at all.

I dunno.... nobody busts the chops on women wearing men's bike jackets. I do for the length in the waist and the multitude of colors and styles available. There are minor adjustments but well worth the selections available. Women's jackets ride to high in the backside and arm lengths shorter than I like plus styling very limited.... Go with the one you have, you'll wear it out in no time then move on to another:thumbup:
