Women clothes zip from the left. Just not let no one see you zipping up. LOL

Also, one of the tags should have a serial number with a W or WM in it which mean it's a womens jacket.

Women, on the other hand, if they had buttoned garments were usually wealthy, and had someone to help them "dress". Their buttons were opposite handed to make it easier for the maid to dress them (and for a gentleman to undress them).
