A properly made 2-piece suit looks funny because the jacket tends to cut really short at the waist. If the jacket were to be cut to look like a regular jacket then it wouldn't attach to the pants right. Most cheap 2-piece suits have a flap of nylon or cloth with the zippers sewn into them and that's how they attached to each to each other. The Z Custom 2-piece suit has heavy brass zippers sewn directly onto leathers.
My Joe Rocket 2 piece has the zipper sewn directly to the leather (big plastic zipper, not brass). The jacket actually extends below the zipper. It fits like a normal jacket when worn without the pants. So, to zip them together, you have to reach up under the jacket to do it.
