Who buys button fly’s and why if so?
I once got to do a tour of a historic fort, and when we visited the magazine the guide told us that garrisoned soldiers were issued wooden button fly trousers. They couldn’t use a zipper because a spark might set off the gunpowder, and also they hadn’t been invented yet.
A button fly’s what?
Button fly is?
A fly that uses a button closure instead of the typical zipper.
Levi’s 501s being the canonical example…
I reckon it was a grammatical joke based on the incorrect apostrophe.
So we’re talking about their and why then?
Yes. There’s wrong words.
Whose?
The title of the post.
fly’s
Belonging to fly, or fly is?
I have both kinds and I don’t really care. I just buy the pants because I like how they look, don’t even check what kind of fly they have. I have the ones with a regular zipper and 1 button, zipper with 2 buttons, no zipper just buttons, a little hook thingy button and fly combination. There are more important aspects of pants for me, like the fit, feeling, price and how they look.
