Love that weekend, hip, faded, relaxed look of 'em. The fact that it takes a bit longer to get them closed up after a pee. Especially love the _pop…pop…pop…pop!_… anticipation when someone is taking her sweet time trying to get me out of them. And a zip neck black mock sweater over a white t-shirt. And a great pair of black leather ankle boots with a sturdy thick rubber sole. Yep. I feel good today. 🆒 ---

I love button fly jeans on a man…woo. I like the way it sits against them, and I do agree opening them is a special thrill. I like them if they’re a little tiny bit loose and low-slung. Is it getting hot in here? ---

Yep. Low rise is a must. Just loose enough. And no crap in the pockets to make the bulge. …And a great leather belt with a buckle that actually jingles with that satisfying metalic sound when undone. ---

And a button-down shirt, opened up, while he lounges on the couch. :: fans self :: ---

Sorry to crash your party, folks, but I can’t stand button-flies. Good ol’ zipper fly for me. Zip up, zip down. No fumbling in the dark. No 5-second wait to take a piss. Then again, my reproductive organs being internal, I’ve never caught them in a zipper. I don’t believe **Quicksilver** mentioned this, but could it have influenced his opinion perhaps? 😛 ---

Sorry as well… every pair of button-fly jeans I’ve owned, the buttonholes gave out before the rest of the pants did. I’ve only ever had one zipper break. As my reproductive organs are external, I take care to not get them caught in anything I don’t want them in, and zippers are no exception. ---

Oh and instead of a coat, wear a bearskin. From a bear you killed yourself. Then you won’t look like a sissy. Maybe you should carry a hatchet too… ---

I second the dislike of button fly jeans. If you’re drinking (and I mean anything over two drinks) they’re such a chore. They also wreak havoc on long nails. Nope…I’ll stick with the zipper fly thankyouverymuch. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-loves-me-some-button-fly-jeans/335941.md?page=2)
