Default Is Alpinestars gear usually this....metrosexual?

I picked up a T-Dyno (nowhere on it does it say Stella!) textile jacket off the internet, had it delivered today.

Now correct me if i'm wrong, don't blokes jackets have the zip on the LHS? So WTF is the zip doing on the right on this! Is this normal for alpinestars jackets?

And i'm not exactly what you'd call a man mountain, but I better stop pumping the guns as their idea of medium nowhere near feckin fits me! Looked a right tool with it on

I thought all motorcycle equipment zips were on the 'wrong' side?

I've emailed the bloke to see what the craic is, doesnt seem to be a label saying dyno, stella dyno or anything. Found this riveting vid, at 0:50 so proves that the zip is meant to be on that side according to A*

No all alpinestars stuff is wrongly zipped, I have a leather 2 piece, that is as well.
I do find it annoying actually, can't understand why they did it? My textiles are normal zips.
