I used to wear them 501 blues, but now I’m boycotting Levis. Wranglers are ok, but they don’t seem to make button fly jeans. ---

It probably isn’t what you’re looking for but WAHmaker makes traditional button fly pants. Late 1800s style though, no belt loops and made to be worn with suspenders. [http://www.wwmerc.com/trousers1.htm](http://www.wwmerc.com/trousers1.htm) I may have a link to a company that makes a reproduction original Levi’s pant, but again, 1870s style. ---

Lots of companies do. I have a pair from the Gap that I bought at Goodwill a couple years go. ---

I’m not sure we can post to site’s for selling stuff, so I won’t. But a search for “button fly jeans” brought up several brands other than Levi. Look for Alien Workshop, Molly, Calvin Klein and others. Good Luck. ---

[curious] Why are you boycotting Levis? [/curious] ---

I’m boycotting them because they’re anti-gun. They’re not obvious about it, but they donate money to some anti-gun groups. Its a shame, since I’d rather support them because they’re pro-gay. Oh well. Wrangler on the other hand, sells hunting clothes so they are probably not anti-gun. I did find a few references to other brands that make button flys, but they are all either brands I’ve never heard of, or “fashion” brands like Calvin Klein which I seriously doubt would be as rugged as Levis or Wranglers. ---

I’m wearing Eddie Bauer button fly jeans _right now_. I love them. ---

More reason for me to be glad I’m wearing Levi denim shorts now. No button fly, alas. Thanks for answering my question.
