Any left hander who can't use thier right hand to undo thier jeans is shit.

All my button fly jeans last longer then the zipped ones and look much cooler.

more reliable, less prone to failure, less prone to trappage.

Zip fly on jeans makes them look cheap and horrible. Button is the way it was meant to be.

Spot on.

I suspect that's because you're undoing someone else's

I wish.

no preference here... i prefer the look of a button, but find the convenience of a zip equally attractive...

You simply didn't see buttons on Jeans till Levi's brought them back in what, the early-mid 80s as a fashion thing. Before that, button-fans seemed to really have to work to get a pair.

For a good couple of decades, the zip seemed to do everyone fine.

Anticipation?

I prefer button flies too, they look better although i have to say i love the sound of a zipper fly unzipping, ahem, anywaaaaaayyyyy

Not a patch on slowly undoing those buttons...one by one, geting lower and lower....ahem. As you were.

Hmm? What was the question again?

Do you go commando? Cos unless you do, I don't see how there's a danger of trappage.

I prefer buttons to zips they fit nicer and don't stick out on the groin.

But you're a girl, and never have to undo the fly without taking your jeans down. It's a bloody pain!

All my jeans apart from one ( zipfly) are too big so i never have to undo them at all at the moment.
But on men i prefer the look of button flys...sexier

Don't they look the same under the fly-cover?

<Changes mind about button flies, gets rid of all zippers>

Button flies are way more secure and less prone to annoying breakage. Nothing worse than a fine pair of trews with sagging zippage.

I'm sorry, I don't care for these mitten-fingered fools who can't master the humble button.

Buttons are the bollocks. Learn to love them. The original problem with jean-zips was that when the denim shrank, the zips buckled. Zips were only introduced on sanforized (pre-shrunk) denim and even then they're apt to break/jam/catch your foreskin.

Button flies are easy to open - you can just give the top of the trousers a tug and they're all open.

Only if you don't wear undies.
