Now that we've settled the button debate, would anyone care to explain
why zippers on men's fashions in Europe & Asia are reversed from those
in North America?  Both a leather jacket I got in Germany and a coat in
Honk Kong have zippers with the slider on the left, the insertion tab on
the right.

Is this because Knights and Samurai had someone else to zip them up? :-)--
