Button fly jeans in 2015, WHY!?

Sorry, a minor rant. Why in this day age do I, or you or anybody, still have button fly jeans? YKK do a wonderful range of zips so upon going for a pee this evening this question arose in my mind and has festered there ever since; why would I not want the ease of just undoing my fly to go for an eyelash?

Oh no, I spent my hard earned on a pair of jeans and belt (coz i'll grow into them) which require me to undo undo my belt, then the top button of my jeans then proceed to undo at least the next 3 buttons for the simple operation of 'shaking hands with the unemployed'! Again I ask WHY!? Normal people (as what I normally class myself) can just go and strain the cabbage by undoing one simple zip, probably provided by YKK (seriously go check your zips, I bet most of them say ZKK on them!)

So why do those folks who design jeans think anyone would want to do it different? Unless of course you're a girl, in which case why would you want a zip? It doesn't make any difference, buttons or zip let's face it girls you're never going to have an embarrassing overspray by peeing on the belt. By *******ing on the belt that you've had to undo to undo the top button that you shouldn't have had to undo, so you can undo the 2 to 3 buttons that really wouldn't have been necessary had you have bought the jeans that were actually probably a lot cheaper and branded George, Tui or Florence and the magic roundabout or what ever....... (if you made to here goodnight god bless

Oh, oh, and another downside I've just thought of; Wearing this offensive design of jeans also makes you look like the fella who's just gone for a poo to the to bloke who walks in and sees you walking toward to the basin to wash your hands whilst still going through the rigmarole of doing up the 2 to 3 unnecessary buttons then the top button and finally the belt that you've hopefully manage to avoid loosing your last two pints over.

Night, and remember keep safe.

 

Must be trendy hipster jeans, all mine have normal zips (YKK or ZKK)

 

ZKK that must be a down under thing!

 

I quite agree. Button-up flies look a bit cool'n'retro, but are a peril if you've drunk 8 pints and are in Carthorse Mode .

 

Another peril is if you give up unbuttoning and just drop them to half-mast, the bloke next to you gets nervous...

 

Why do you undo your belt and top button? I just pop the middle ones

 

That is obviously a dexterity I lack!

And with sausage fingers the concentration of standing, staring and or fumbling below the waste can get you arrested or at least thrown out of any pub!

 

I like button up jeans. I like the fumbling in getting the fly open. I'd offer to help anyone (within reason of course) with the task in hand.
And look what ad tapacrap posted below your post. I wonder style jeans they do??

 

I think the button up fly should be banned,it looks like your having a fiddle while trying to line it all up

 

On the upside, if you've ever caught yourself in a zip the disadvantages of a button fly pale into insignificance........

 

Yeh , what he said ! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Especially in the queue at the Post Office

 

Time for some pull-up elasticated-waist 'denims'?!

 

the other advantage is if youve had a real blow out , you can undo a button an give yourself a bit more room , shirts can also get in the way of zips , its what come natural to you i suppose ,ive always had button if i can get it but do wear the zip with caution , lets face it zips can go

 

I much prefer a button fly, on jeans and smart trousers and a shirt with a tail. Anyway whats with trousers these days the ruddy fly is about 5 inches long, a nice long fly is proper.I still wear some clothes that were made back in the forties and the quality and amount of fabric puts modern clothes in the shade and they were proper austere times.

 

No! Next thing, you'll be taking up golf and buying a caravan

 

With a schlong the size of mine it a) allows for easier and quicker access, along with a simpler unfurling, and b) prevents said schlong from ending up with a frankenstein-esque scar as it's almost impossible to tuck it all in without getting it stuck in a zip

 

I could never understand the point of making the simple zip more difficult by going back to the darkages with a button fly

 

Plus eleventy on this, I also have an extraordinarily large penis that I have to 'unfurl' rather than just peep it through a little gap on my zipper.

 

Dont knock the humble button you modernist you
