Many go in more at the waist, due to the difference in body shape - however many also don't...

I would say that ladies leathers would have a bit more "give" for the mid-chest area...

But, then again, depends on the size you're going for as as men get bigger so do their mid-chests, ha ha

As for leg length, I would say womans leg length would less, but, there may me less "room" in the crotch

Well Mrs N tec legs are shorter than mine as she cut the bottom of one of me pair of leather jeans.
But LPH legs are longer than mine I'm 28" isl .
Any size 14 / 16 girls fancy fessing up if they are longer or shorter?

I'd say ladies leathers are categorically too short in the leg for s bloke. Put it this way, I'm 5'7 and my legs are a nice long length. Ladies leather pants are always like half masts in my experience.

The main difference is that women look so much better wearing them than we do

To be fair, there's quite a lot of difference between fit women and mens leathers. Men don't look that fit, particularly when the saggy bum starts making an appearance
