    You've obviously never tried to undo the buttons on a guys pants in a hurry. Seriously, those ones with the extra material on top so that you can barely get at the buttons let alone open them - it's a literal cock block!

    As a teen way back in the day and before Levi's and Nick Kamen(sp) in the launderette came along to pimp 501's as the fashion you must have(younger viewers can youtube). I used to wear 501's as they were about the only jeans that fitted me well and I could get in my size at the time. Plus a cousin of mine was high up in Levis Ireland so I got them cheap. Anyway they had buttons and my peers used to call me "grandad" because of it. The bastards. After the ad campaign I was cool, even more I was cool before it was cool. Funny though the price nearly tripled after the marketing kicked in and I was getting them wholesale. NOt so funny enough I suppose.

    As for zips versus buttons? Meh, no real issue, but I'd prefer the buttons myself. Much less likelihood of going half mast for a start. Never mind the zip/bollex interface issue. If you get you're man tackle caught up in buttons you must have really been trying.

    I do have a couple of pairs of slimfit Levi's 511's and they have zips and I have to say it did take time to get used to after 20 years of buttons. But I adapted and no "fallout" occurred in the learning phase.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    They used buttons until someone clever invented zips...then they brought back buttons as a "retro" thing. Retro as in retrograde. Zipper - swoosh, up...swoosh, down. Buttons, they're just fumbly.

    you just need more practice, i prefer opening buttons than zips on guys it's much easier, faster and you don't have to worry about getting anything stuck!

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Buttons are just impossible when you are drunk. The amount of times I have made an ass of myself because of button jeans/alcohol is ridiculous.

    There's something satisfying about ripping open the buttons...

    Zipper flies are best for drinking pants. Not only do zips allow you to piss without touching your belt, buttons can be confusing if drunk. Less time pissin' more time drinkin'
