All of my jeans have button fly...no zippers. I think it is just as quick, if not more so.
I have been anti-zipper my whole life though.

I doubt there is even a pair of jeans that are "my style" that have a zipper.
...and by my style...I mean totally gay style.

 

Ok, for you "button fly" advocates... when you hit the head, do you unbutton the fly only? Or do you undo the belt and top button along WITH the fly buttons?

See, here's what I hate: With the zipper, it's easy to JUST pull the zipper, uncoil the hose, evacuate bladder, and reverse. With the button fly, it's nearly impossible to ONLY unbutton the middle buttons, so I always end up undoing the belt, top button, and the lower ones as well = more time = more effort = more hands necessary.

I just hate when I find a pair of jeans that actually fit well, and they're button fly .

 

+1. Man-bits eaten FTL.

 

Who the hell wears a belt with 501's

 

i havent had a pair of jeans with a zipper for a few years now... but i never just unzipped the fly...always undid the belt and unzipped...and continue to do the same now that i have buttons

 

Button fly's used to air out my boys. Feeling the breeze.

Of course I haven't worn a pair of long pants in years, board trunks kind of guy for a few years now.

 

I'm skinny.

See, so there is very little difference for you. BUT, if you DO just unzip the fly, then it is a HUGE hassle to have to also undo the belt when faced with the button fly .

 

I don't wear pants.

 

my faaaaavorite jeans are Lucky jeans... i've tried sevens, i've tried joes, +various other more expensive jeans and NOTHING beats my Luckys... all of them have button flys though, kinda sucks but it's worth it.

it doesn't take THAT much more time to undo a button fly. the only thing I've found that makes them difficult is if someone else is trying to undo your button fly... like when you're about to get it on... or if you're trying to take jeans off someone with a button fly... it's really difficult.

 

it's really easy to just unbutton a few in the middle. Just stick your fingers in there and, um, unbutton them? I'm not about to write a tutorial about it, it's easy and takes a minimum of talent. Buttoning them back up is also cake, although I will admit once or twice having to take a minute.

Do you all wear velcro shoes because tying knots is too time-consuming and difficult to learn?
