I am confused why the jackets would be different in the first place. And the discount argument makes zero sense. If anything, this is a reason to find a different supplier, it's not like there is only one company making jackets.

Even if it was precisely the same configuration of zips/pockets/etc. there's still the fact that a female cut garment can need to have different amounts of material to accommodate bust and hips.

I accidentally bought a women's cut top at a goth festival once; the extra material across the chest was noticeable when wearing it (though other people didn't notice from just looking, so I happily wore that top for years anyway).

Women's jackets tend to have small changes, like shorter length and zippers on the left. The small changes make the jacket fit and look better.
