Button or Zip fly

[jelly]

Do you have a preference and if so, why?

I only just realised Levi 501 are button fly only since forever. Don't have a preference myself, own both in different jeans.

 

[Jeffolation]

Too much manual labour with button ups.

 

[Zutrax]

I have worn pants my entire life and have not once seen a pair of pants that use the button method.

 

[finalflame]

No idea how any can vouch for button, it's a PITA. Zip all the way, always. Also Levi's 511s for life.

 

[stersauce]

all my denim are button fly's and they are a hassle to button back up :(

 

[BarryFishFinger]

Zips obviously. Button flys are the preserve of madmen and masochists.

 

[CannonFodder52]

Zip, but I have a pair of button jeans and don't mind wearing them.

I have one. It's... weird - but works surprisingly well.

 

[Deleted member 49319]

All my favorite pairs are button.

 

[jon bones]

button fly because i wear APC jeans every day

 

[Vylder]

Never seen a pair of pants with buttons.

 

[Raxus]

Button for sex. Zipper for everything else.

 

[Max|Payne]

Zip is faster but bad quality zips can get stuck or split apart.

Buttons is slower but usually more durable and reliable in the long term. Only issue is when they make the holes too tight. Fuck that.

 

[wholahay]

I don't hate a button fly but I'm a big boy and my jeans already whisker like crazy at the hips. Buttons tend to make the whole thing happen even faster.

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Buttons are way easier to fix/replace.

I don't care because honestly who even uses the fly?

I am not unbuttoning 3 buttons in an emergency.

button. used a zip after a while and most of my day i was with my fly open.

 

[jelly]

Never had a zip fail or a button fail so quality is good enough.

I would say never left the buttons open but a zip fly, it happens.

 

[Deleted member 6173]

I prefer the button fly. They're fun to play with and look cooler than the zipper fly.

 

[kamineko]

I always do button.

 

[Fatoy]

Buttons, all day every day.

I got a pair of those last month but just me or is the crotch ride a bit tight and high, feel like I'm on show.

Zip.

Buttons are a pain in the ass and any potential benefit (longevity) isn't an issue with zippers. The pants will fall apart before the hardware does.

 

[Wood Man]

Zip

Buttons feel like I'm putting together a damn puzzle every time I need to piss.

 

[Deleted member 2840]

I once got my foreskin stuck while zipping up my pants, and I still prefer zipper.

 

[Strike]

Zipper.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

Magnets

 

[Gunny T Highway]

The only time I had button up pants was a pair of formal dress pants. Zip all the way.

Where's the Velcro love

This is the first time I've ever seen or heard of the button fly. It looks dumb, and if I just saw that image with no context I would assume it had been photoshopped

 

[abellwillring]

I never really see button flies any more. Feels like it had a very small time and place and fortunately it's gone away.

I'm a "flop over the top" kinda guy.

Buttons all the way.

 

[ViewtifulJux]

Button fly all day. Shit really ain't that complicated either.

I have lost too many buttons on just shirts using that method lol I would break my pants in a week. I do NOT know how to sew so it would be bad

 

[shadowkat]

Both.

Doesn't matter to me.

 

[Wackamole]

Sound of a zipper is just pure sex.

 

[Tom Nook]

Zipper.

 

[Liquidsnake]

What is the best boxer shorts out there?

 

[Aurica]

Neither has lessened my or others' ability to open it, so I don't care. I guess zipper is slightly easier?

 

[EloKa]

Jeans like in the OP: always black and buttons only.
Any other kind of pants: both ways are fine I guess.

 

[bunbun777]

The poll results go against the established big dong canon of the members here. Guess you all like to live dangerously.

 

[eosos]

I feel like buttons are a mark of high quality jeans since they last longer. Sort of annoying when breaking in a new pair though.

 

[Goldenroad]

I haven't seen button fly jeans in years, but I've gotten into this routine of basically only buying American Eagle jeans because I know they fit, they last, and they're pretty reasonably priced, and I don't feel like they even offer button fly as an option.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

In my younger days I was all buttons, Levi 501's, good marketing. As I got older I embraced the zipper, Costco jeans are good enough for me now

 

[leder]

Buttons last way longer.
