@dmashbur the zips on our jackets are consistent regardless of the country they are sold to. I am not sure how to answer the rest of your question, I am afraid.
Do they both zip the same side or is that also inverted?
Is there any other differences?

Between what and what?
Iron Heart use the same zips on every unit of the same SKU for sales internationally and domestically
I’m trying to see the differences between buying one Ihj-35 vs another. As I tried on a recent production sz 40 with ykk zips, but just bought a sz 40 (online international, won’t be here for a bit) with Waldes zips. Was curious if this was a different jacket entirely for a different market.
For example…The shop Vancouver shows pics with Waldes. iron heart main website has YKK. Other shops such as Weathered Fig show YKK in pictures but description says Waldes.
So
1- does this come down to a different season/sku production only? To decide which zips there will be?
2- the ykk Ihj-35 has the zips on the right side, Waldes is on left. What’s the reasoning behind this?
3- I see the Waldes has a lighter grey liner, the ykk models have black, are there any other differences?
Thanks for the help!!

OK, now I am with you. Thanks for the context.
So occasionally we update zips from production run to another, but only (to my knowledge) when we lose access to the original zip (Talon/YKK on some work pants, for eg in the past)
The latest batch (and for as long as I can recall, at least 2020 onwards) all have used YKK, so I suspect anyone using imagery / copy referencing Waldes either has old stock, or just has not updated their websites

Ah gotcha thanks so much!
I had edited my original message, one last question.
-The ykk models have zipper on right side as opposed to Waldes on left. What is the reasoning behind that? As I noticed all my other jackets (from Europe and Asia) usually have zipper on left as well.

@Alex haha I like the small intricate details of brands like IH. Sorry for such specific questions

Yay or nay on the fit? It fits me like a GLOVE, don’t feel restricted but also at the same time I’ve always worn looser jackets. No plans to ride, generally will be worn unzipped. Looks pretty fresh but not much wiggle room. The light hoodie under is doable and can be zipped but definitely filling it out. Anything I should be thinking about before I make a decision?

@sloanranger NAILED the fit. That is exactly how a rider's jacket should fit. Sleeve length is spot on, shoulders are fitting good. That's a keeper!
