NO... Button fly is the original jean closure, it predates the zipper by generations. The original Levis in the 1870s were button fly.<br /><br />Reasons for men to choose button fly: <br /><br />Once you've gotten pinched in a zipper, you never forget it. <br /><br />If a zipper jams or breaks, you're out of luck - you have to go home and change or risk arrest for indecent exposure, or at least real embarassment. But if one button or button loop fails, the jeans are still wearable. <br /><br />If the zipper is irreparably jammed/broken, then the pants are done. But a problem with the button fly can often be home repaired if you're not needle phobic. Military pants are button fly for just this reason -- zippers are not field repairable. <br /><br />Finally... for some women, the button fly is "fetish clothing", don't ask me why. But when I start unbuttoning those old jeans, my wife's eyes light up....
