Who buys button fly’s and why if so?
A button fly’s what?
Button fly is?
A fly that uses a button closure instead of the typical zipper.
Levi’s 501s being the canonical example…
I reckon it was a grammatical joke based on the incorrect apostrophe.
So we’re talking about their and why then?
Yes. There’s wrong words.
They shouldn’t’ve done that.
Whose?
The title of the post.
fly’s
Belonging to fly, or fly is?
I once got to do a tour of a historic fort, and when we visited the magazine the guide told us that garrisoned soldiers were issued wooden button fly trousers. They couldn’t use a zipper because a spark might set off the gunpowder, and also they hadn’t been invented yet.
Less dangerous
I have never gotten my beans or my frank involved in my zipper while wearing underwear.
They’re pretty common on raw denim, especially if it’s unsanforized (i.e. not preshrunk). It’s basically because when jeans stretch and shrink zippers can look weird (have you ever gotten that weird pants boner around the zipper?). They also have a fade pattern that’s pretty classic. I dont think they’re any less convenient than a zipper once they’re broken in and you’re used to them.
I have both kinds and I don’t really care. I just buy the pants because I like how they look, don’t even check what kind of fly they have. I have the ones with a regular zipper and 1 button, zipper with 2 buttons, no zipper just buttons, a little hook thingy button and fly combination. There are more important aspects of pants for me, like the fit, feeling, price and how they look.
Once. By accident. Just grabbed a pair off a shelf that were labeled with my size and that was it. Hated them. So impractical.
I loved them back when they were popular in the mid-late 2010s. Why? Confused people at the urinals.
