Buttons instead of Zip

Anyone else here made the typical bloke mistake of just grabbing clothes in the store and not trying on until you get them home, and THEN, discovering they have buttons in the front porch instead of a Zip?

I don't know (actually I think I do) who's more stupid, the dude who invented the button-ups or the idiot who bought them!! :roll:

The dude who took them home without trying them on is more stupid...

Once upon a time of course buttons were usual, and a lost button is a lot easier to replace than a bung zip.
[And it is harder to get your gear caught in a button! :oops: ]

Never brought a pair with buttons but as Seinfeld once said its pure madness having interlocking metal teeth near that piece of apparatus of the human body, buttons makes more sense!

I think the button up's have been around a bit longer than the zipper has,
